Chelsea midfielder Kante: 10 years ago I watched finals on TV - now I help to win them

Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante admits he's pinching himself today after winning the Champions League.

Kante helped Chelsea defeat Manchester City in Saturday's final and was later voted man of the match.

He posted to social media: “When I was younger I didn't see myself being here in the biggest stadiums in front of millions of people.

"But here I am. I knew it was possible. Passion, confidence and faith have helped me achieve this goal.

"Ten years ago, I watched these finals on television. Today, I help win them."
