The Algerian star, Riyad Mahrez, the Manchester City winger, aspires to win the European Champions League title for the current season 2020-2021, during the confrontation that will bring him together with his counterpart Chelsea in a pure English final, next Saturday evening, in the Portuguese city of Porto.
Riyad Mahrez talked about the Champions League final on the official website of his club, saying: "Winning the Champions League with Manchester City will do a lot for this club, and for this system, because we have not achieved this championship before."
He added, "Playing in the final is a dream for me since I was a kid. I used to watch this kind of finals, so it will be a special moment, and I think it is an achievement, and it is also a big thing for this club because it is his first time, and the first time for most players."
Regarding the Chelsea confrontation, the Algerian star said: "Facing an English club in the final will not change anything in our preparation for the match. We know them well and they know us well, and therefore it will be a complicated match."
Speaking about the motive behind City's access to the Champions League final, he said: "The second leg of the quarter-finals against Dortmund away from our stadium. We were 0-1 behind and there was a possibility to get out of the tournament, but we showed a strong personality and we managed to win and qualify."
Mahrez affirmed his great happiness to play for Manchester City, saying: “It has been a great journey since I arrived in City. I have come here to achieve titles, and this is what we do every season, and I have developed in many aspects, through work. With Pep Guardiola and with world players. "
