A pillar of this Algerian team, crowned African champion of 2019, Mahrez has opened the way to the succession of Sadio Mané at the Ballon d’or. Compared to other contenders such as Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mané or Idrissa Gana Guèye, he seems to be taking a good lead following his successful series with Manchester City. A true executioner of Paris Saint-Germain, the Fennecs striker alone managed to put the gang to Neymar, Mbappé and Idrissa Gana Gueye on his knees with a sensational performance. He now has to get his hands on the prestigious European trophy to give colours to a good season but above all to position himself as the big favourite in the succession of the Ballon d’or Sadio Mané. Already crowned in 2017 following the title of Premier League champion that he gave to Leicester during the 2016 season with the trophy of best player of the season, Ryad Mahrez presents good assets.
