France and Chelsea's UCL winner N'Golo Kante shares medal with fan; Watch

France star N'Golo Kante lent his UCL winner's medal to a Chelsea fan after the fellow supporter presented a small gift to him. The French star was awarded a smock by the fan as Kante gave his UCL medal to him and let him wear it while being photographed in a heartfelt gesture from the 30-year-old midfielder.

N'Golo Kante was a key part of the Chelsea team that went on to win the 2020-21 UEFA Champions League against fellow Premier League rivals Manchester City in Porto last month. The Blues scored the only goal of the match at the brink of half-time as Kai Havertz rounded up the goalkeeper following a defence-splitting pass from Mason Mount to hand the London outfit their second Champions League trophy. 

N'Golo Kante was named man of the match for his brilliant performance against Pep Guardiola's side with the 30-year-old France star creating a unique record of winning four straight Man of the Match awards in the knockout stages of the Champions League. Following the Champions League final win with Chelsea last month, the French midfielder was given a much-needed rest to rejuvenate himself before being called up for national duty as France prepare to feature in the highly anticipated Euro 2020.
