Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan is ready for a major battle today against Chelsea and N'Golo Kante.

Kante won back-to-back domestic titles in his first two seasons in English football for Leicester and Chelsea, and recently came fifth in the 2021 Ballon D'Or vote.

Gundogan rates the Frenchman his toughest opponent.

“I would say N'Golo Kante (is the hardest midfield opponent I have ever faced)," Gundogan revealed on Twitter.

“He's really strong, the amount of work that he puts into the game, it's just unbelievable."
