Man City wrapped up a fine first-leg against PSG in the Champions League semi-final but they will have no time to celebrate as they must now shift their focus to the Premier League<\/a>.<\/p>\n

City take on Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Saturday and just a few days later they face PSG in the second leg at home. So naturally, Pep Guardiola will have a lot in mind. Even the manager has admitted that he and his side will have no time to rest in between games.<\/p>\n

Guardiola said after the PSG game: “We’re going to have time to enjoy it a little bit, even if it’s not over. Obviously we have a big second-leg at home, but today we’re going to drop a little bit the pressure and enjoy, have food, sleep, and then tomorrow we’re going to concentrate on Crystal Palace.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Man City are just a few steps away from reclaiming the Premier League but such a tight fixture list is really difficult to handle at this time of the season which is why some pundits have argued that fatigue and mental exhaustion could play a really big part in determining the outcome of Saturday’s game.<\/p>\n

Riyad Mahrez though is adamant that tiredness is not going to be a factor for him or his teammates during the last few months of the season.<\/p>\n

Mahrez said after the PSG win<\/a>: “I love playing every three days. I love it. We go again, Friday, we go to London, play Saturday against Crystal Palace, come back and play against PSG. <\/em><\/p>\n

“That’s the way you have to live your profession, your football. It’s very good. These type of stages, these type of important games, we’re not tired. <\/em><\/p>\n

“We don’t think about tiredness. We just have to recover quick, and be focused on the next games.”<\/em><\/p>\n
