Mahrez is threatened with being denied penalty kicks
Spanish coach Pep Guardiola spoke about Algerian star Riyad Mahrez missing a penalty during the match between Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday in the Champions League, expressing his opinion on this problem, he said.
"Of course this is a problem, we missed 24 or 25 penalties, most of them in the Champions League, which is a very large number," Guardiola said after the match.
On the possibility of Riyad Mahrez implementing the next penalty kick after he missed a new kick, Pep said, "We'll see what happens."
He added, "I love the courage to take the penalty kick, but this is a problem and we have to solve it, there are small differences in this competition."
He continued, "Last season, Mahrez scored many goals in important moments, but now we have to improve."
As for the match, he said: "We managed the second half well, and in the first half we had some counter-attacks."
