The winger of Saudi club Al-Ahli, Riyad Mahrez responded to a journalist's question, comparing himself to Lionel Messi.
“Man, you cannot compare Manchester City and Al-Ahli. Everyone in the team needs to play well. I am a team player, I am not Messi. I cannot take the ball and do everything by myself. If the team plays well, I play well. Do you understand?” — said the Algerian to Alkass Sports.
This season, Mahrez has played 19 matches for Al-Ahli in all tournaments, scoring six goals and providing seven assists.
