New Manchester City boy targeting European glory

Riyad Mahrez says that winning the Champions League was one the main reasons he joined Manchester City from Leicester.

Speaking at his official unveiling as a City player after his £60m move, the Algerian said that the club want to build on their Premier League success and challenge for honours in Europe.

“It’s a club who wants to win this type of trophy. The Champions League is for big clubs and Manchester City are a big club,” he said. “They have everything to try to win the Champions League. It is a goal. Last season they lost in the quarter-final and I know they have the ambition to go further the next season. That’s why I’m here, why I made the decision to come here, because I want to be part of this.”
