Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Chelsea midfielder, N\u2019Golo Kante has revealed his side\u2019s chances of eliminating Real Madrid from this season\u2019s UEFA Champions League, UCL.<\/p>\n

The France international believes Thomas Tuchel\u2019s men have created the perfect platform to knock the LaLiga champions out of the Champions League semi-final and progress to the finals.<\/p>\n

Kante was named Man of the Match as Chelsea played 1-1 with Zinedine Zidane\u2019s side in the Champions League semi-final first-leg tie last Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old will hope to lead the Blues to victory when they host Real Madrid in the second leg next week Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Speaking ahead of Chelsea\u2019s Premier League clash with Fulham on Saturday evening, Kante told a press conference, \u201cWe are happy for the result [against Real Madrid]. Coming into this game, we knew we would be playing against a great team, and we wanted to leave with a good result so we would have the momentum ahead of the second leg at home.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think overall 1-1 is a fair result. We had many chances that we didn\u2019t score, but we can be happy with the draw. We\u2019re looking forward to playing at home and hopefully qualifying for the final.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added, \u201cWe need to take the positives from this game. Yes, we could have scored more goals from the chances we created, but the main thing is we were creating the opportunities to score, and that\u2019s a positive sign.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor sure, reaching the final is a goal, and it\u2019s possible for us now. We\u2019ve to be fully focused on the second leg when it comes because we\u2019re playing against a very strong opponent.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
