Six years later the Frenchman has a glittering CV for himself and a trophy list that includes another Premier League title, the World Cup, Europa League and others in the process. Furthermore, the 30-year-old won his third successive man of the match award as Chelsea beat Manchester City to lift their second Champions League trophy.

It has seen Cesar Azpilicueta in awe of his teammate, congratulating the brilliant shift that Kante had put propelling them to a Champions League glory.
"It's straightforward, yes he is the best in the world. He does everything. The energy he brings, I don't know how many ball recoveries he had today. The way he drives the ball forward, he covers so much ground. It is special to have him. Of course, when we don't have him we miss him. After winning the World Cup and now Champions League, he is still so humble as a person. I am so happy for him, he is a massive part of this team and I am very happy to have him next to me for a few years," Azpilicueta said, reported Goal.
