VIDEO: Riyad Mahrez is actually the weakest link in his dream five-a-side team

Plenty of tricks in this line-up

Darragh Murphy

It’s always interesting to see whether or not players select themselves when asked to name their dream five-a-side team.

Given the season that Riyad Mahrez had last year, we can’t really blame him for doing so when his was requested during an interview with eir.

The Leicester winger, who has been linked with big-money moves to Chelsea and Arsenal this summer, picked perennial Ballon d’Or rivals Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, as well as Brazilian superstar Neymar.

Realising that he needed a defender to balance out the lack of back-tracking up front, Mahrez selected PSG centre-half Thiago Silva at the back.

That left the final spot open for Mahrez to name himself and fill out a five-a-side team that would be an absolute nightmare to play against.
