'I saw Neymar and Mbappe defend a lot' - Mahrez stands up for PSG stars after Man City reach Champions League final

The Ligue 1 side's forwards have been criticised after European elimination, however, one of their opponents has defended their work ethic

Neymar and Kylian Mbappe "defended a lot" during PSG's Champions League semi-final defeat to Manchester City, according to Riyad Mahrez.

PSG were well beaten over two legs by the Premier League outfit, with much of the blame falling on their star forwards, with claims that they are too individualistic and do not pull their weight for the Parisian club.

Mahrez, however, does not see it that way, and feels that over the two legs Mbappe - who did not play in the second game due to injury problems - and Neymar showed a willingness to help out at both ends of the pitch.
