DBasia.news – Barcelona became an inspiration for Manchester City wing striker, Riyad Mahrez. The hope is to see Man City advance to the final and win the Champions League.
Manchester City are trying to realize the dream of winning the Champions League title. Sergio Aguero and mates will face Tottenham Hotspur in the quarter-finals.
It cannot be denied, the Champions League is a title that is highly anticipated by all elements of Manchester City. Moreover, the club has spent a lot of money to get star players.
Riyad Mahrez is optimistic that Manchester City can win the title sooner or later. Mahrez wants The Citizens to follow Barcelona’s success.
“I have a lot of memories in the Champions League in the era when Barcelona shined. I always dreamed of playing in it. I achieved a title once with Leicester City and can now advance to the semifinals and finals,” said the Daily Mail.
“Winning will be extraordinary. I always want to win competitions like this. If not this year, I think next year,” Mahrez explained.
“We have to beat Tottenham first and then we will see. To be honest, it is normal to keep in mind. You can win the Champions League and the Premier League, but you can also lose everything,” said Mahrez.
“We have a pretty potential squad. Everyone has the ability to perform. We have two very good players in every position, so that’s great.”
Mahrez said his decision to leave Manchester City was inseparable from Pep Guardiola’s figure. Although, leaving Leicester was a difficult decision.
“Moving to Man City is very important to me. I need to experience something different than Leicester City. I also have the desire to work with Guardiola. Obviously there is a lot of quality, even in training,” Mahrez stressed.
