Riyad Mahrez says he’s constantly messaging Arsenal star. Manchester City is celebrating a successful season, but Riyad Mahrez has taken the chance to poke fun at Oleksandr Zinchenko of Arsenal, a former teammate.
The Ukrainian winger, who made the summer transfer from City to Arsenal, has been a shining example of excellence in London. His incredible efforts, supported by his remarkable skills, are largely responsible for Arsenal’s improbable title run.
The continuous advance of the City, though, caused the Gunners’ pursuit to fail as they were left behind. Mahrez acknowledged that he has been messaging Zinchenko nonstop, and their conversation has taken a lighthearted turn.
Mahrez openly acknowledged, his constant onslaught of communications, to BEIN Sports (via TBR Football): “I’m murdering him. constantly on the phone with him. Yes, he is my friend. We frequently make fun of things, but right now he seems a little down. Therefore, I’ll hold off on telling him until after we’ve lifted the trophy.”
Despite a solid season, the Gunners were unable to cross the finish line. City, in comparison, has been nothing short of sensational in recent months, ruling the roost with its undeniable domination.
Mahrez’s amicable exchanges with Zinchenko have gained some extra zing due to the two clubs’ divergent fortunes.
Arsenal struggle as Manchester City wins their third straight championship:
Once more, Manchester’s blue side has prevailed. After another exhilarating Premier League season, Manchester City emerged triumphant and won their third straight league championship. This noteworthy accomplishment happened after their closest rivals, Arsenal, suffered a 1-0 defeat against Nottingham Forest on Saturday, May 20.
Despite having been in the lead for much of the season—248 days, to be exact—the Gunners’ collapse left them four points behind City with one game remaining. The defeat helped Pep Guardiola’s strong team win a sixth championship in as many years.
But City’s desire for fame is far from satisfied. Their sights are firmly set on a continental treble now that they have secured the Premier League title. The FA Cup and Champions League finals are scheduled for next month, giving Guardiola’s team the tantalizing opportunity to replicate the achievement accomplished only by their rivals in the Manchester derby, Manchester United.
