Mahrez, 35, told a press conference in Jeddah on the eve of the match: “I am very happy to be in the final again, for two consecutive years, on our home ground and in front of our fans. We are really looking forward to the match. “It’s important for everyone not to take it for granted, because reaching the AFC Champions League final two years in a row is incredible.
