“His love is natural and my wish is to kidnap him before returning to Al-Ahly.” Reactions to Riyad Mahrez’s performance with Algeria against Somalia

The Algerian magician Riyad Mahrez, star of the first football team of the Al-Ahly Saudi club, was content to participate for only 45 minutes in his country’s match against Somalia, this Thursday evening.

The Algerian national football team won (3-1) over its Somali counterpart, in the first round of Group Seven matches, in the African qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.

Mahrez contributed to the Algerian national team’s first goal, before he was replaced by technical director Djamel Belmadi during the break between the two halves. Which sparked great controversy in the sports street.

For their part, the fans sang on the “X” platform about the performance of the Al-Ahly club star, in the minutes he participated against Somalia, and they also responded to the process of replacing him with some sarcastic responses.
