Riyad Mahrez began his breakout pro soccer season by scoring two goals in one match.
He ended the season by helping Leicester City win the club’s first-ever championship in England’s Premier League, helping the Algerian national team qualify for next year’s African Cup of Nations tournament, being named Player of the Year in England by the Pro Football Players’ Association, and finishing seventh in the voting for the Ballon D’or international player of the year award.
