The stats from Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante's performance for their 1-1 draw at Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final tie have been laid bare.

Los Blancos managed just one shot on target all game - Karim Benzema's equaliser following Christian Pulisic's first-half opener.

And Kante played a huge role in keeping them at arm's length.

The 2018 World Cup winner was involved in a team-high 21 duels, made seven recoveries, one interception, one block and one key tackle in frustrating Madrid.

Those stats are all the more impressive when you consider Kante was tasked with keeping star trio Toni Kroos, Luka Modric and Casemiro at bay.

But he was just as busy in attack, completing a team-high six dribbles, completing 87.5 per cent of his 56 passes, touching the ball 80 times and even whipping in two crosses.
