Algeria star player: Inspirational captain Riyad Mahrez
Now at Saudi Pro League club Al-Ahli, Mahrez needs eight goals to become Algeria’s record marksman, with the 35-year-old scoring 38 times and supplying 43 assists in 113 international appearances as part of a career decorated with Algeria’s second-ever AFCON triumph in 2019.
Scorer of three goals in two games as his country completed a perfect group stage at the 2025 AFCON, Mahrez’s litany of achievements include a key role in Leicester City’s remarkable Premier League glory in 2016, the African Footballer of the Year award in the same year and the treble of Champions League, Premier League and FA Cup with Manchester City in 2023.
