Algerian football – He was placed on the bench during the quarter-finals of the Champions League against Bayern Munich, as well as during the semi-finals against Real Madrid, Riyad Mahrez was a victim of the decision of his coach, Pep Guardiola, who preferred to trust Bernardo. Silva in his starting lineup.
While the Algerian is currently one of the most decisive players on the planet, Mahrez has been left out of Champions League nights this season. Portugal’s Bernardo Silva has featured in the Citizens’ last four matches. However, statistically speaking, the Algerian is much better than his teammate, despite spending less time playing.
Indeed, with 3 goals and 2 assists in 506 minutes, Mahrez contributes a goal every 101.4 minutes of play, while Bernardo Silva, who has 3 goals and 1 assist in 817 minutes, contributes a goal every 204.25 minutes of play.
So it is clear that Guardiola’s decision to include Silva instead of Riyad Mahrez in his starting line-up depends on tactical ends.
