N’Golo Kanté: the one-man midfield who conquered Europe for Chelsea | Barney Ronay
Pep attempted to overload Kante in the midfield with 3 players and Kante still owned them.

Yo, Goober, where's the meat?
Kante was the shortest player on the pitch and had the most successful aerials.

Best midfielder... probably. But I mean Messi is still playing so.
You realize it's the other way around?

Yup. As for midfielders he's probably the best and most effective out there(bar Ozil) but I think Messi, Mbappe, Lewa and Haaland are overall better at the moment. But after them he has a really good shout at being top a top 5 player in the world. Which when he's been healthy he's flirted with for quite a while.

He's definitely a top 5-10 player in the world, best player is a stretch. Might be a good argument for most impactful player as he completely changes the midfield and teams constantly try and manage around him.

I picked him first last draft for my team and it didn’t go over well. But I didn’t purely for the fact that he’s a one man defensive midfield and like you said, may be the most impactful player in the world. Special talent.

Apparently he did because a player out for the season is somehow ranked above him.
People should remember the PSG/Bayern return game.

I would have him in there with Kante/Lewa somewhere. If there were a top 6.........

Which part do you think is bullshit here? I highly doubt he intentionally meant for their heads to collide like they did.

Rudiger knew what he was doing in that it was an effective tactical foul. It's a clear yellow.
I think Rudiger is a ticking time bomb but you know when Rudiger has fire in his eyes and he didn't on that play. It was a certain hard foul but I don't think he did that thinking there was a chance in hell KDB would not be able to continue.

100%, Rudiger plays on the line and he knew what he was doing by stepping in front of him like that. The way they collided was just unfortunate and KdB got the worst of it as he got Rudiger's forehead in his face essentially.
