"We're going to take it game by game, but our goal is to try to win another title. There are a lot of strong teams in England who still have a chance to win the league, so we're not just focusing on Arsenal, even though they've been very good so far. If we want to win the league, we have to be ready as soon as the league resumes for us after the international break," Mahrez told the Manchester Evening News.
The Premier League is one of the most competitive and exciting leagues in world football. With teams like Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United all vying for the title, the race for the championship is always intense. Riyad Mahrez and his Manchester City teammates know they will have to be at their best if they want to lift the trophy at the end of the season.
City have been dominant in recent years, winning four of the last five Premier League titles. However, their rivals have strengthened their squads and are determined to knock the reigning champions off their perch. Liverpool, in particular, have emerged as City's biggest challengers, with Jurgen Klopp's side pushing them to the limit over the last two seasons.
Mahrez is well aware of the challenge ahead. The Algerian winger has been a key player for City since joining the club in 2018, and he knows the team will need to be at the top of their game to retain the title. The international break will give the players a chance to recharge and prepare for the decisive race.
"We have to be ready," Mahrez said. "The Premier League is a marathon, not a sprint, and we have to make sure we are in the best possible shape when the season resumes. There are no easy games in this league, and we have to be focused and determined if we want to come out on top."
City's squad is packed with world-class talent, and Mahrez is confident they have what it takes to win the title again. But he knows they will need to be at their best if they are to push the boundaries of their rivals.
“We know we have a target on our backs,” Mahrez said. “Every team in the league will be targeting us and we have to be ready for that. But we have a great group of players, a fantastic manager and a club determined to win. If we can all come together and work hard, I think we can achieve our goal of winning the title.” The Premier League title race promises to be an exciting one and City will be at the heart of the action. With Mahrez and his team-mates determined to defend their crown, the scene is set for an epic battle that will captivate football fans around the world.
