N'Golo Kante was phenomenal yesterday, as a result he was recognized as the best player of the Champions League final match and received the MOTM (Man of the Match) award. The Frenchman also received such an award in both semi-final matches against Madrid's "Real", and he also won one such award in the first quarter-final match against "Porto". Speaking about Chelsea's triumph in the Champions League final with RMC Sport, he said: "It's amazing. It's the fruit of effort, after many difficulties we faced this season. The MOTM award is secondary, the most important thing is the work of the whole team." N'Golo also added: "It's pride and joy. We fought to be here. Today we suffered, but we have a prize." And speaking about his chances of winning the Ballon d'Or, the Frenchman said: "I don't know, at the moment we are celebrating the Champions League title, the European Championship is coming soon, I will join the French national team and hope to win that title too."
