Before both clubs advance past the UEFA Champions League Quarter-Finals, Manchester City forward Riyad Mahrez stated his preference to play against Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-finals, considering he was born and raised in the Parisian suburbs.

Now that the matchup is official and the 30-year-old is in his hometown. Mahrez spoke at a press conference, where Canal Supporters relayed his comments concerning the first leg match versus the French giants, which he calls, the biggest game in his career at Manchester City.

“It’s the biggest game of my career at City, but it’s not the end. We have to show that we want to go to the final, and that’s what we will do tomorrow,” Mahrez said. “We play football for these kinds of matches. We have to show that we can go to the final and that we deserve it. You have to play with your personality at times like this.”
