Riyad Mahrez still intends to be Manchester City's first-choice penalty taker despite the arrival of new signing Erling Haaland.
City have had trouble from 12 yards in recent seasons, struggling to find a consistent penalty taker despite boasting plenty of world-class players in the squad. In the last 12 months, however, Mahrez has emerged as a reliable option from the spot.
Last season, Mahrez scored six penalties out of seven, with his missed effort coming on the penultimate weekend of the season in the draw against West Ham. Despite that disappointment, which would have sent City into the final day with a three-point advantage, Mahrez says he was confident his teammates would always complete the job on the final day.
