Manchester City take on Chelsea for the 2020/21 UEFA Champions League final on on Saturday 29 May. Porto’s Estádio do Dragão is the venue to host the 66th edition of the competition’s final.

And Machester City Winger Riyad Mahrez could not be more excited for the upcoming UCL Final. As the highly anticipated match is getting closer, the Algerian star spoke about how happy he is to be here. He unveiled his dreams of playing it and much more.

“It’s a dream. Since I was a baby, since I was young, a young teenager, [I’ve been] watching this type of final – that’s why it’s special. Now we have to play a good game and to win,”

“It means a lot because you remember where you come from and you’re thinking, ‘Wow! It’s a good achievement.’ It’s good to play the final. But you need to play it to win it.

“It’s massive [for the club too]. It’s the first time for the club, the first time for a lot of us. But it’s massive for everyone.

“It would mean a lot to win the Champions League here. It would mean so much to this club, to this organisation. Because we’ve never won it. It would be amazing to lift it.”

“It’s been a very good journey. I came here to try and win more trophies. And we’re doing that every season and I’m very happy here,”

“Working with Pep and top players makes you improve. I’ve played more games, have more experience so it improves you automatically. It takes you to the next step

“It’s an honour [to be one of few Algerians ever to reach the Champions League final].

“It’s always good for people from my country do good things. We will see in the final what will happen. It would be a big, big achievement.

What mentality from the star winger. It’s a safe bet he is happy with his decision to come to Manchester City. And he has reaped plenty of rewards and titles.

All that’s left is to punctuate this great run with a UCL Final win on Saturday.
