Man City attacker Mahrez desperate for glory with Algeria

Manchester City ace Riyad Mahrez is willing to go above and beyond for his nation.

The Algerian wants to ensure his side are African Cup of Nations winners again.

Mahrez and his teammates continue AFCON qualifying this week, as they take on Niger.

During a City Studios documentary, Mahrez said: “It was a 30 minute journey and it took seven hours [bus parade after winning AFCON in 2019]. It was incredible.

“It was amazing, this passion. You cannot find it anywhere else. It only exists in Algeria.

“Our people are unique. Tough but unique. I think the Algerian people deserved that win and the joy it bought.

“I gave a lot that tournament but I still have two AFCONs and one World Cup in me. I'll do everything to win again."
