Liverpool 2-2 Chelsea (5-4 on penalties): 5 players who impressed for The Blues | 2019 UEFA Super Cup

#1 N'golo Kante

Kante was Chelsea's best player

Are there any words still left to describe this man? In an age where players of his ilk are overshadowed by more flamboyant colleagues both on and off the field, N'golo Kante has still managed to prove his worth to any team he finds himself in, despite not being the most physically imposing or technically brilliant.

The French international has been less than a 100% in recent weeks, having been struggling with a muscle problem, but he was started in the match against Liverpool, and showed no signs of his malaise, as he was one of the best players on the field from both teams.

Kante played for the full 120 minutes, and despite being deployed further up the field, the 28-year-old still shone like a million stars and was one of the key reasons why Chelsea held Liverpool till penalties.

Stats revealed that throughout the game, Kante had 102 touches, made 69 passes with an 84% accuracy, completed 8 take-on, created 4 chances, won 3 tackles and 2 aerial duels, in addition to 1 interception.

Incredibly, his total number of take-one was more than twice any other player on the field managed and it was an almost complete midfielder's performance from the World Cup champion, and having played an important role in the two Chelsea managers he has played under, Kante is still going to be crucial under Frank Lampard.
