Chelsea midfielder Kante admits Champions League experience was special

Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante has hinted he's desperate for more Champions League action.

The midfielder especially impressed in both legs of Chelsea's last 16 tie against Barcelona, looking right at home as he showcased his abilities to the hundreds of millions watching around the world.

"We all know Barcelona are one of the best teams. To play against them was a good experience for me because I could test myself against some of the best players now," he told chelseafc.com.

"I really enjoyed playing against good teams in Europe in my first Champions League competition. It is something I am proud of because I used to watch the Champions League when I was young, and to have this experience with Chelsea makes me very happy.

"I would say I learned as a player and as a winner, always trying to reach our targets. It is one season more of experience for me, and we have to learn from this season to do better in the next one."
