Manchester City secured their place in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 as group winners following a stunning 2-1 win over PSG at the Etihad Stadium.
Pep Guardiola’s side came from behind to book their ticket to the knockout stages of Europe’s elite competition. With goals from Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus cancelling out Kylian Mbappe’s earlier strike.
Indeed, it was a brilliant encounter in the north of England. With City taking PSG to pieces for most of the game. And for Riyad Mahrez, it was a sensational performance for the Algerian star.
The winger, who earns a reported £120,000-a-week, was a menace for the Paris defence all night. With stats from City Xtra showing that Mahrez was all over the place in both attack and defence.
With multiple City players shining against PSG, it was one of the best team displays from the Manchester giants this season, despite the scoreline. Yet it was Mahrez who stole the show.
The former Leicester City star was key to City’s huge win over PSG, and supporters on social media were full of praise for the 30-year-old attacker.
