Riyad Mahrez is thinking about the African Ballon d'Or, and he's making it known.Indeed, the star of the Algerian national team told L'Equipe in an interview with journalist Nabil Djellit to defend his chances of winning the trophy.
"Normally, there's always Mané and Salah for the African Ballon d'Or, but last year it was a little more difficult for them collectively. I won the treble (FA Cup, Premier League and Champions League). During the year, including the national team, I scored 20 goals and provided 15 assists. In terms of the game, I've been a major player in the PL and FA Cup, a little less so in the Champions League, but over the last few years, I've always been important in this competition. It's only logical that I should be rewarded with this European title. It's true that he won the Europa League, but that's no match for a historic treble with City. So we'll see..." explains the current Al-Ahli player.
