For Mahrez, City have "everything" to win the Champions League

Speaking to 'The Guardian', Mahrez stuck his chest out. He thinks that his team, despite the long break caused by the coronavirus, find themselves in the optimum moment to face their big challenge: winning the trophy that everyone dreams about most.

“I think it is a good time to win the Champions League,” Mahrez said. “We have the team, we have the manager, we have everything, so it is a good time. I don’t know if we are the best but we are good enough to win it. The Champions League is difficult, everyone wants to win it, so it is going to be a big battle", the Algerian attacker assured.

For now, despite them drawing Real Madrid in the last 16, the dream is possible. City will have to defend a 2-1 first leg win, and if they win, theY would be in the quarter-finals, four games from the final, full of morale. 

Will City return to the same level they were at before the break? Mahrez thinks so. “It was a bit long without football but we adapted and now we are back training. With the pandemic going on [training at home] is something we had to respect. Step by step we are getting fitter. I am excited. It was good to see my teammates and the coaches again", he said.
