The Debrief: Kante thrives and Kai flies high as Blues head for Istanbul

06 May 2021


We pick out the key statistics to highlight some of the main talking
points from a memorable European night that saw Chelsea score twice and
reach a third Champions League final…

The xG numbers indicate the Blues dominated the chances created at the
Bridge


Goals from Timo Werner and Mason Mount secured a 3-1 aggregate victory for
the Blues over Real Madrid and sent us to Istanbul in emphatic fashion.


== N'Golo the great ==


N'Golo Kante has been at his very best in recent weeks as the Blues push
on for major silverware on two fronts at home and abroad. In the first leg
in Madrid, the Frenchman was a significant attacking threat when turning
over possession and bursting forward with those driving, purposeful runs
into space, helping to create numerous opportunities.


While the return in west London was a slightly different contest as Real
dominated with 64 per cent of the ball, Kante was key in different ways.
He roamed down the inside-right channel and played a crucial role in Timo
Werner's opening goal, retrieving the ball high up and then exchanging
passes with the German before threading through his countryman Kai Havertz
to hit the crossbar. Werner was on hand to nod in the rebound and make it
2-1 on aggregate.

Kante's touch map against Real Madrid


That was one of three big chances Kante created in the game, while he
could have had a goal himself when charging forward on the counter-attack
in the second half, though Thibaut Courtois stood in his way. He did play
a part in finishing the tie off late on, dancing forward to tee up
Christian Pulisic before the American delivered for Mason Mount to convert.


In a defensive sense, our number seven was equally important, cleverly
reading the game as the visitors moved the ball from side to side and then
jumping in at the perfect time to make tackles and interceptions. Between
him and Jorginho, they made 11 interceptions in the game, more than the
entire Madrid side put together.


Kante has two Premier League titles and a World Cup to his name but has
never tasted Champions League glory. In this form, he could be a decisive
factor in the final.


== Flying Kai ==


The young German may not have scored, even though he did hit the crossbar
twice, but his influence was evident throughout this semi-final second
leg. He had the most shots of any player on the field, while his total of
53 touches in the game was bettered only by Ben Chilwell of his Blues
team-mates.

There were also a joint game-high three dribbles, three aerial duels won
and an 86 per cent pass completion rate that contributed to an exceptional
overall performance leading the line up top.


There is nothing false about Havertz's impact as a central striker, though
his presence does confuse central defenders, who don't know whether to
follow his drifting movements or pass him on to the midfielders. The
result is often time and space for the 21-year-old in dangerous attacking
pockets, while the likes of Werner, Mount, Kante and the wing-backs can
occupy the forward areas he vacates


== Magnificent Mendy ==


A goalkeeper might not be too busy in a semi-final but his job is to make
a difference when those critical moments come along and Edouard Mendy was
exceptional in making big saves at big times.


His most important came moments before Werner opened the scoring as he
dived at full stretch to push away Karim Benzema's powerful strike from
the edge of the box. That was one of his five saves in total, while his
distribution was also strong with an 87 per cent pass completion rate.

Mendy gets across to keep out Benzema


The Senegalese stopper now has eight clean sheets in 11 Champions League
matches this season, the most in a single campaign for an English team in
the competition's history.


== Tuchel takes them all on ==


No manager has previously reached the Champions League/European Cup final
in successive seasons with different clubs as Thomas Tuchel looks to go
one better than last year's runners-up finish with Paris Saint-Germain.


Tuchel has now beaten Zinedine Zidane, Pep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp, Jose
Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti and Diego Simeone (twice), all without conceding
a single goal in those seven matches.


He is now six games away from overseeing one of the greatest seasons in
Chelsea history.
