The lads at City don’t watch other teams’ matches on TV. They don’t give a s*** about them.
“Plenty of times in the dressing-room I’ve heard certain others asking: ‘What happened in the game last night?’
“I don’t know what to say. It could be the Champions League semi-final.
Mahrez hits back
Taking to twitter, the Manchester City winger has hit back at these claims, however. Quoting an outlet reporting the news, he tweeted:
“Never said this or anything close to this”
