The Frenchman was at his brilliant best in the 1^st leg in Madrid. He bossed the midfield with his impeccable skills and ability to hold up play.

We have rarely seen occasions where Casemiro, Kroos and Modric have been dominated in the midfielder region by just 1 genius.

N’golo Kante plays for two 👊

He completed more dribbles (6) than the entire Real Madrid team (5)

Contested most duels out of any other player on the pitch

Kanté’s masterclass made him the best player on the pitch as he ran the show from start to finish.

He deservedly won the man of the match for his astute performance against Los Blancos.

The energy and intelligence showcased was top notch as the Frenchman rose to the occasion once again.

Kanté has always been one man who steps up in crucial matches for the Blues and yesterday was one such match.

The Frenchman successfully completed 6 dribbles in the entirety of the match, one more than the entire Real Madrid managed to dish out.

He also contested 21 duels which was the most by any player on the pitch last night.

N’Golo has always been an underrated midfielder and surely the performance last night has elevated his stature.

Kanté may not have got the goals but his intricate play, ability to hold off challenges and own that area pitch was the reason for Chelsea’s success last night.

He has a 88% pass accuracy and boasted of 80 touches on the ball. These stats prove this elite mentality and provides proof of his brilliance in his job.

Tuchel would hope that the Frenchman continues his brilliance in the return leg at home on 5^th May.

In the Champions League this season, he has started 5 matches and provided 1 assist. But his presence in the center of the park has highlighted his magic for the Blues.

He even showcased a dominating performance against Atlético Madrid earlier in the season.

We hope to continue seeing the Frenchman dish out such classy performances.
