Chelsea captain Azpilicueta: I've never seen any player like very special Kante

Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta believes his Champions League success can benefit Spain.

Azpilicueta says he's learned from the experience of being underdogs with Chelsea and it's something he can take into the Euros.

He said, "Many times people give their opinion without seeing a single game. We weren't going to compete because we were in ninth place. We had tough rivals and we won. In the case of Spain, it is in our power to change what has happened in recent tournaments. We are going to go game by game, playing at our house is special."

Azpilicueta was also asked about playing with N'Golo Kante at Chelsea.

He added: "He is a very special person. I have not seen a player like him in my entire career. He covers a lot of ground, reaches the area ... when we all run out of battery, he always has an extra."
