Manchester City's Mahrez always wanted to win the Uefa Champions League

Riyad Mahrez has revealed that his admiration for Manchester City’s style of football was one of the reasons for completing a five-year switch from Leicester City last summer.

After an initial transfer tussle between the Foxes and the Citizens, Mahrez eventually joined Pep Guardiola's side last July but has endured a mixed start to life in Manchester, making just 13 starts in the English top-flight so far. Though he has scored 11 goals in all competitions.

A Premier League title with Leicester City in the 2015-16 season is not enough for Mahrez who sighted his quest for a new challenge for the move to the Etihad Stadium.
