The duel between star Cristiano Ronaldo and the captain of the Algerian national team, Riyad Mahrez, for the Player of the Season title in Saudi Arabia is intensifying.
This renewed rivalry in the Saudi Pro League once again pits these two iconic figures, who have repeatedly competed for both individual and collective honors in the league. The official “Fantasy” account of the Saudi Pro League has nominated Algeria’s captain, Mahrez, for the Player of the Season competition based on fan votes.
Mahrez is in contention for this prestigious award alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, Moroccan Abderrazak Hamdallah of Al Nassr, and Al Ittihad’s Aleksandar Mitrović from Al Hilal. With voting set to close soon, Mahrez currently holds fourth place with 14.6% of the votes, while Mitrović leads with 35.9%, closely followed by Ronaldo at 34%. Last season, the former Manchester City star outshone all the big names in the Saudi league, including Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Algerian national team captain, Riyad Mahrez, has risen to the top of the assist charts in the Saudi Pro League thanks to his outstanding performances with Al Ahli Jeddah. The “Desert Warrior” reached his 13th assist in the competition before the end of the Saudi season, surpassing his rival from Al Nasr, who has 11 assists, level with Al Ahly’s Rúben Neves.
