Manchester City hero Riyad Mahrez admits he 'MISSED' his match-winning free-kick after failing to bend his strike around PSG's wall... as he thanks team-mate Benjamin Mendy for praying for him to score crucial away goal in Champions League semi-final

Riyad Mahrez has admitted that he got his match-winning free-kick against PSG all wrong - despite hitting the back of the net to earn Manchester City a huge win.

The former Leicester star scored from a set piece in the second half of City's 2-1 triumph in Paris, which puts them in pole position to reach next month's Champions League final.

But after watching his strike somehow get through PSG's wall, Mahrez was quick to own up to the fact that he had been attempting to curl the ball around it.
