If there was a player of Chelsea that amargó the night of the Real Madrid this past Wednesday was definitely N'Golo Kanté. Although Mason Mount, Christian Pulisc or Antonio Rüdiger stood out and were very important along the eliminatory, the French surpassed them to all they in all the senses. The Frenchman already was the big nightmare of the group madridista in the gone and went back it to be in this turn.

The midfield player appeared by all the places of the field during the 94 minutes that lasted the duel and did not leave of presionar, run, steal, create game... In summary, completed a partidazo that went back to give him the MVP of the meeting and by discounted of the 'semis' after his magnifies performance in Alfredo Gave Stéfano. To his 30 years, the ex of the Leicester has gone in in full sportive maturity and probably is in one of the best moments of his career, perhaps the best.

It is impressive to see play to a footballer that looks to have three or four lungs and that it can appear by the right, by the left, in the centre or in the penalty spot. Casemiro, Toni Kroos and Luka Modric finish fed up to have him always in the cogote presionando and suffered during all night against him. In fact, the 1-0 of Swindle Werner initiated it a big individual action of Kanté, that was in all.

The French left with ease of Casemiro after a big control oriented and began the played that broke all the defence madridista. After going , played with Werner, that anticipated to Sergio Bouquets and gave it back to him, and to continuation left only to Kai Havertz, that commanded it to the crossbar in front of Thibaut Courtois so that his compatriot marked to pleasure of head the first in the rebound.

Kanté Was in all

But Kanté no only was in the played of the goal, but it did not leave to try it and to generate danger during the rest of the party. In defence never left of presionar, doing gala of his impressive physicist, but he is much more that a half that does not tire never. His powerful inferior train, his dynamism, agility and quality with the ball do that it can do of everything in the midfield, as it left clear against the Madrid.

Already in the second part, the Frenchman had a one against one to sentence to the whites, but Fede Valverde saved it 'in extremis' when Courtois already was almost beaten. But Kanté redeemed of this failure no a lot afterwards when going back to initiate the played that ended in the 2-0. The midfield player stole his enésimo balloon and gave it to him to Pulisic, that after encarar to the white goalkeeper gave him the so much to Mount. While, Kanté celebrate the pass to the final to his way, without wanting to go out too much in the photo. Now, the 'bleu' already aims to the City, to the that expects to turn into his new victim.
