Riyad Mahrez believes a lack of clinical finishing cost Manchester City the advantage in their Champions League last-16 tie with RB Leipzig.
City travelled to Germany on Wednesday evening for the first leg against Leipzig and came back with honours even at 1-1. Mahrez opened the scoring for the away side with a composed finish on 27 minutes but the Blues failed to turn dominance into goals before Josko Gvardiol rose high to head home the leveller.
Leipzig's equaliser handed them the impetus and the Bundesliga outfit wasted their own chances to take the lead, with Andre Silva and Timo Werner both failing to score. But Mahrez believes that momentum should never have come, with City not able to capitalise on their first-half dominance.
