Man City ace Mahrez: Champions League final just another game

Manchester City star Riyad Mahrez insists the Champions League final is 'just another game of football' for him.

The Algerian will line-up for City against Chelsea in the showpiece event in Lisbon on Saturday.

But Mahrez insists he isn't feeling the pressure of the occasion.

"We're very comfortable to play our game," Mahrez told Goal. "No pressure, just play with personality, that's it.

"Of course you feel some pressure before games but it's a good pressure. You have to turn it into confidence and personality.

"I wouldn't say it's easy but for me it's okay. I don't put the pressure in my head - I just play like it's a normal game. Obviously thinking that it's a Champions League final but it's just a football game for me."
