Riyad Mahrez Says Premier League Title Race Not Done Yet

 

Leicester City can win the Premier League by beating Manchester United on Sunday, but Riyad Mahrez does not believe the title race is over just yet. The Foxes enter the final stages of the Premier League as favourites despite starting as 5000/1 outsiders after a miraculous escape from relegation last season. Mahrez insists he and his team-mates are remaining calm as they approach the final three games, insisting they are just enjoying their fairytale moment and are refusing to let pressure ruin their.

He said “It is not done yet, we have to keep going and focus on every game because it is difficult. We don't need to be nervous. This is just a bonus for us. Nobody expected us to be where we are so this is a bonus. If we do it, we do it. If not, that's life, like I said, we are not a big club. We don't have to win the Premier League”.

Despite their doubters, Leicester have been top of the table since late January and have rarely faltered in their charge for the title. They have lost only three games in the league and Mahrez has accredited this to the focus among the squad.

He said “I speak a lot with N'Golo Kante and maybe January we started to talk about the league. We just said: 'Imagine if... But that was only for about 30 seconds and then we would say: 'No, let's stay focused and let's see.' It was still a long way to go. Maybe 15 games to go. Nowadays, we are like: 'It's not done yet because Tottenham are very close to us”
