Afcon 2019: Algeria's Riyad Mahrez feels love of his home town

The 2019 Afcon final in Egypt tonight will see Algeria facing Senegal in an eagerly anticipated match.

Algeria's team is likely to feature Riyad Mahrez, a former CAF African Footballer of the Year, and now a star of the Premier League team Manchester City.
