Kanté uitblinker in CL-finale: "Hij zal plaats moeten maken voor de Gouden Bal"

De Champions League is een prooi voor Chelsea, nadat ze in de finale Manchester City wisten te verrassen. Kai Havertz kroonde zich met de enige treffer tot matchwinnaar, maar dé absolute uitblinker was zonder twijfel N'Golo Kanté. De middenvelder was alomtegenwoordig en werd door de UEFA ook uitgeroepen tot Man van de Match, nadat hem ook in beide halve finales die eer al te beurt viel. Op sociale media keek iedereen met open mond naar de Fransman en er gaan alsmaar meer stemmen op dat hij straks de Gouden Bal moet winnen.

Ngolinho, my bae ❤️

Joe Cole: "N'Golo Kante is staggering. I am shattered just watching him. I played with Claude Makelele and I thought he was the best in that position until I saw this kid. He is Makelele plus extras." #CFC #UCLfinal

N’Golo Kante MOTM in a #UCLFinal.

Absolutely bossed Modric, Kroos, Casemiro and De Bruyne…

I tell you what, Kante might need to upgrade that Mini Cooper or the Ballon d'Or trophy is never going to fit in his boot 🏆

Petition to award N’Golo Kante the Ballon D’Or. The sweetest and possibly most vital guy in football.
