Men and brethren, after watching the champions league final yesterday, I'm beginning to reassess what I initially knew to be true about football which is that good attackers win you games. I can 100% say that Kante was a MAJOR reason for Chelsea's victory. Yes Messi may assure you goals and creativity and terrorize defenders but boy what a player like Kante brings to any team is out of this world.

NB I'm not a Chelsea fan but Chelsea fans I think you guys are blessed to have one of the all time greatest all round midfielders in your team. Kai what a player

Against tougher team, I will prefer Kante.

Against weaker team, I will prefer Messi.

Moreover, Kante doesn’t need Xavi and Iniesta to win the Champions league

He's won Champions League.
He's won World Cup.
He is one of the greatest!!
Many of us Non Chelsea fans love him absolutely

Lol Messi is actually the S.I unit of football,anyone and everyone gets compared to him.


Kante had a great UCL run and he's being compared to Messi, unbelievable.

Kante is a very good player, but don't compare a 2021 Toyota Camry with even a 2018 Rolls Royce.

Oga calm down.

Messi is an O. P. P. ( O Po Pa)

Am a Real Madrid fan o

This is not a comparison bro. These things are simple and some comments won't be necessary if we take time to think. You can't "compare" two things that are not like for like. Kante is a DM and Messi is a ST so their roles on a pitch are different therefore you can't substitute one's role for the other. Comparison will be if we're talking Messi/Ronaldo or Kante/Ndidi etc. So the poll was simply if you would rather have a team with a strong DM like Kante or a strong ST like Messi. You get it now?

Meanwhile I just saw that an MOD edited my topic's heading as Messi Vs Kante. No wonder everyone has been misunderstanding the post as a comparison. Pls note that this was not my original header. MODs I will appreciate if my original headers are left as it is or edited without changing the message in the original header. Thank you

Read my earlier post pls

just imagine the insult....the first mistake is placing Kante in d same sentence with messi bcox of one good UCL season??
asking about an alien like messi with his level of consistency since 2008 and a kante dt was in Chelsea since 2016 n jus clicked form this season??
i think u should jus stop all dis kante joke bcoz you guys are now taking this kante hype to another level..
first it was VVD n next was fernandez n now its kante....seems this EPL hype men still dnt get d difference between form n class..
lets give ur kante more time before asking all this baseless questions or placing him in same sentence with an alien dt have been destroying records for decades
This op needs prayers..

what messi have done in football eh, no player In the whole of france can do it..
not surprised because all humans have short memories...I also know dt a day like this would come..
my happiness is dt no close friends n family member of kante can say such because they respect records, consistency n history more than some short termed shallow fans like us..
imagine the insult na....guy wetin u smoke self??

paulolee:
just imagine the insult....I no blame Una...na pep cause all this downgrading n see finish

Insult? At who? First like ogbiwa has said above this is not a comparison of Messi and Kante as both players are not like for like, and then even secondly, Kante has won the world cup, Europa and Champions League in addition to his local league and played a central role in each of them, Messi has won the Champions league and his local league, so you may want to think again before knowing who you think is insulting who. Finally Kante and Chelsea outplayed Mancity yesterday so they're fully deserving champions. And this is from a non Chelsea fan

my guy, ur talk is baseless n it shows lack of respect to the GOAT tag..
how can u place a d.m and a sT for selection n u forgot dt d decison would be influenced by what each team already av..
secondly d likes of mascherano, veron, viera, essein, yaya toure n even busquets etc on their prime even did better n won trophies than kante dt jus mark n cnt score goals, very poor in attack n not good in aerial balls n u are making it sound asif he do score 100+ goals a season..
jus imagine d funny question becoz of one good season, u ar placing him with a legend dt av been destroying records n winning trophies for more than a decade..
thats wickedness bro....sure say u go church today or na highness u take type dis joke??

my guy....small kante cnt be placed I same sentence with a player like messi because its a disrespect to leo years of winning n "consistency"
how can u ask such question about a kante of yesterday against a legend like messi dt started since 2008? its so sickening jhare
run a poll online the white folks would bash u bcoz they dnt joke with records, consistency n history..
some questions aint necessary atall n even ur tuchel cnt say such bcoz of respect he gat for messi
d next is asking if I prefer a kante to pep or Kante to Ederson..
dts d same way u once hyped VVD sha, with time dis kante madness go reduce n u get to understand wat it takes to attain success consistently for more than 10 years n respect such more better

paulolee:

my guy, ur talk is baseless n it shows lack of respect to the ONLY MAN ON EARTH WITH 6 BALLON D OR AWARDs or u tink it comes dt easily??
pls cr7 n messi are in their own lane bcoz dey av been doing records even before kante was discovered..
if u ask all coaches n presidents in the world, 99% would go for messi bcoz u can get anoda kante easily bt cnt get anoda messi..
we have so many dm that can easily replace kante, for example d likes of mascherano, veron, viera, essein, busquets etc on their prime even did more than kante dt jus mark n cnt score goals, involve in attack n not good in aerial balls but the world havnt seen any players like cr7 n messi n dey both deserve more respect no matter if they avoid declined today because paid thier dues in gold...
jus imagine d baseless comparison becoz of one good season against alien dt av been doing records n winning trophies for decades...no let me vex abegi..

THIS IS NOT A COMPARISON! A simple understanding of the topic will save you the unnecessary epistle as it's not needed. Also no need reeling out Messi and Ronaldo's achievements here again. We know. The ones that don't know have Google

my joy is dt no family member of kanta can say such because they respect consistency n history more than us..

Mbappe ( Kante’s younger brother) has won World Cup, has Messi done that?

oga na better downgrading abegi....who b kante? when e start ball?? whats on d topic to understand?? I jus gave u a reminder about a legend like messi dt u abused by placing him in d same sentence wit ur kante..
u guys need to be called to order bcoz dis kante buzz is getting too much..
ur kante is too good n influential in Chelsea n u didnt win all trophies this seaeon, he is the best DM ever n he is just winning his first UCL since 2016 he came in or na tuchel jus showed him football dis season??
ur man jus had good form dis season jus like lewa did last year n as VVD did last 2 years, stop making it sound asif he is a new player dt came in n scored 50+ goal n helped Chelsea win all trophies..
you guys still need deeper understanding between form n class...
time will tell sha bcoz Liverpool fans dt were saying VVD was the best defender ever don understand d meaning of consistency..

Amotolongbo:
Mbappe has won World Cup, has Messi done that?

nope...dts his only flaws till today and he even accepted dt he isnt lucky with agentina n CNT win it all...
but do winning d world cup makes mbappe or any france player dead or alive better than messi individually?
Henry once said, I dnt bliev in messi hype not until i trained n played wit him, dts when I realized leo was underated n was so good dt I can pay money to watch him train

Nothing to add. Its just baseless comparison.

paulolee:

nope...dts his only flaws....he CNT win all...it makes mbappe dts without a ucl better than messi with more ucl n ballon d or??

so go back to your earlier post and modify it by clearing it and leave it blank.

Amotolongbo:

Messi does not have to win the world cup. Kante & Messi not suitable in the same sentence.

On individual level and performance, what has he achieved??

Did he win the world cup singlehandedly?

Amotolongbo:
so go back to your earlier post and modify it by clearing it and leave it blank.

lolz...sorry ma bt I cnt bcoz i cant edit or clear wat u dnt understand...
I meant what messi have done in football, the records n achievements he have attained individually, no player dead or alive can reach the legacy dt messi av attained in football...
u talking world cup n dts a team achievement n only mbappe or kante didn't win the world cup for France...
incase u dtn know, d best player award in dt same world cup was given to luka modric because he was d best individually bt frnace won collectively as a team
if kante or.mbappe were soo good individually, they would have won it....u dig??

What has Messi done for Argentina

Jokerman:


What has Messi done for Argentina

nothing but jus winning Olympic gold for them n dts his only flaws...but I still insist, what messi have done individually in football, d record he have broken n the individual awards he gat can not be attained by any player in dt France team dead or alive
so put some respect on that name...case closed..

Some people are just damn brainless. I'm a hard core Messi fan, also a Chelsea and there's hardly any comparison in the post. If you think the OP was trying to compare them, then go for a medical brain check up.
Would you rather have someone who can guarantee you a strong and solid midfield in Kante or one who can guarantee you goals and assists in Messi? If you're given the money today, which would you rather buy? This is the problem of Barcelona today. They invest so much money in attackers like Dembele and Coutinho who normally would guarantee them goals and assists and overlook defenders and solid midfielders like kante who would guarantee them a strong back line. OP, I'll choose Messi without any doubt, but if possible I'll take the two

Has Messi ever scored in a World Cup final like Mbappe?

This cruise is sweetening my belly

its not about the position or the comparison, its all about the disrespect in placing both in same sentence...
for example u cant ask us to choose between a mbappe and a cr7 in team, because it's breeds disrespect...
the problem was placing a player on form in d same sentence with another than have attained success consistently since 2008...dts too bad n it reeks of downgrading n disrespect...
no matter wat mbappe or rashford do in a season. they cnt b placed in same sentence with legends like zlatan....dts disrespect

As of date, Kante of course

That dude should be on drugs .

Fvcking utility player. An all rounder!

Reminds me of Makalele of Real Madrid then .

Very funny comparison !

DesignAndBuild:
Can't I have them both?

Anyways I don't know about Messi cos he's on another level but I'll rather trade 5 Neymars for just one Kante. My what a player! And this is from a non Chelsea fan. I couldn't keep count of how many times he won possession back in a dangerous area or made a well timed tackle or critical interception. The mancity players were scared of him because of the way he appears from nowhere to steal possession. And then he was still running all over the pitch tirelessly even in the 97th minute. And all with a smile. No angry reaction even when he's tackled or decision goes against him. He just gets up and runs back into position. I think he's the BEST team player any team in the world can ask for. Kante for Ballon d'or pls. A player like him deserves to win one before retiring he has tried.
