Riyad Mahrez lifted the Premier League trophy for the first time during his time with Leicester City. When he was at Leicester, he was the team's star player and always at the heart of all the attack. His partnership with Jamie Vardy was also one of the best in the Premier League.

Since he joined Manchester City, he won even more trophies. This season, the Cityzens won a domestic treble and surely, Mahrez would be happy. However, he is getting all these awards thanks to his team-mates.

In reality, Mahrez often started from the bench and was introduced as a substitute. Out of his 27 appearances in Premier League, 13 came from the bench. With the excellence of other attacking midfielders namely Raheem Sterling and Bernando Silva, Mahrez can be considered surplus to the team.

He might be one of the best with the Foxes, but with the Citizyens, there are others who prove to be much more influential than him.
