Kai Havertz scored the only goal of the final just before half-time, but it was Kante who stole the show.
The tireless Frenchman was rewarded with the Player of the Match award after the Blues lifted the European Cup for the second time in their history.

The 30-year-old was everywhere for 90 minutes and truly deserved a Champions League winner's medal.
The Champions League win is the latest milestone in Kante's extraordinary career. One of the most popular footballers of all time, Kante is not only a world-class player - he is also, as we all know, very humble.
Football fans fell in love even more with Kante during the trophy presentation. While all the Chelsea players were kissing the trophy as they passed him, Kante chose to give it a little touch before continuing with a smile on his face.

Then, can Kante win the Ballon d'Or trophy? There is still one condition that must be met to make it happen. He must win the European Cup. At least that's what former Blues midfielder Ramires said.

"He may be one of the three best players in the world. But it's difficult for a defensive midfielder to go forward and win a Ballon d'Or. But yes it will be worth it (if he wins the Champions League and Euro 2020)", Ramires told Mais Futebol as quoted by the Daily Mail.
The result? We will see later.
