Manchester City ace Riyad Mahrez is delighted to be back in Paris.

City meet PSG in the first-leg of their Champions League semifinal later this evening.

The midfielder said, "Coming back to my city, where I grew up, is always good. This is the first time for me. It's special for sure, but I'm here to make my match with my team and above all to try to win and show our personality.

"Pep (Guardiola) has done a lot for football. He deserves to be saluted, as does (PSG coach Mauricio) Pochettino. We know how important he is to us. He's normal, he helps us a lot tactically for the matches. He tries to give us all the good advice for the matches, on the opponent. When we arrive at the matches, we are ready."
