Sit back and enjoy three minutes of Riyad Mahrez showcasing his exceptional first touch.
The Manchester City winger, who has scored 22 goals so far this season, has proven himself to be one of the classiest players in the Premier League over the past eight years.
A mesmerising talent, Mahrez is blessed with outstanding balance and control and is seemingly capable of bamboozling defenders at will with one of his trademark mazy dribbles.
There is an artistry to the 31-year-old’s game, and none more so is that evident than with his first touch, and his ability to bring pass under control, often whilst on the move, is something for football purists to enjoy.
You can do just that in the video above, which includes a compilation of Mahrez’s most impressive touches.
