Man City star Riyad Mahrez hilariously calls out Elon Musk over Twitter punishment

Riyad Mahrez has made an appeal on social media platform Twitter to get his verified blue tick back.

With a place in the Champions League final at stake this week as Manchester City take on Real Madrid in the second leg of their semi-final tie, Mahrez seems to have been distracted by his getting his verified tick back. The 31-year-old boasts a following of over 3.2m on Twitter, but appears to have lost his tick for some reason.

On a mission to change that, the City winger took to Twitter to send Elon Musk a message, simply asking : "Bro, Elon Musk give me my blue tick back," followed by laughing emojis.
