Kante doesn't need statistics to be the best number six in the world he is absolutely out of this world
Kante and I have no idea why this is even debatable
kante single handedly carried Chelsea to UCL, carried liecester to PL. Rodri is good, in a good team in a good system, but it takes million times more to do it with a bunch of scrubs, with kante and city's defense, city would have beaten chelsea's 15 goal conceded whole season record!
Sorry but as good as Rodri is…. this isnt even a debate
Kante all day everyday and twice on Sunday
Prime Kante is different level , you have disrespected him simply by comparing him with Rodri ,
Yes Rodri is great but no way near prime kante
I'd chose Kante and it's not even a debate. Rodri is a brilliant player, but he's still not on the level of prime Kante. Rodri wouldn't have been able to do what Kante did for that Leicester team and Kante was integral to Chelsea in that Champions League run, as he constantly got man of the match awards in the latter stage of the tournament.
Different players,but I'd pick kante
Rodri more completeðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
This is not a fair debate, its insane how good these two are.
I've had the privilege of seeing them both play live.
Rodri Clears offensively, Kante clears defensively. All the people bringing up the Final where Rodri was benched are just Dum in my opinion, that's not even valid.
Of course the city fan says Rodri 😂
12 years a kante was unbeatable
Kante couldnt even make the Chelsea team as a six in 2022. Rodri is the more complete player and is more of a playmaker.
Truuuuuu I don’t think Rodri would have won the league in that Leicester side
Wow lol – even I’m surprised at how many ppl rate Kante higher
Under Sarri Kante was played as an 8 with Jorginho as a 6. If he was that good why did Jorginho get selected ahead of him?
so two good seasons is better than a kante
this guy is trying to get comments and it worked well for them
Prime Casemiro over both..
How did Chelsea win their last Champs League…against which team?
James : you debate around Prime Rodri and Prime Kante and your argument to pick Rodri is what he did last year ? (@1:45).
Kante every day mate.
That guy is crazy to say kante is not better
PLEASE PLEASE STOP KANTE IS LIKE 2 players
Why is this even a DEBATE, Kante is Miles clear of Rodri… Kante at Leicester, Chelsea and France!
Kante completed football in five years. Don’t ever disrespect him like this again!!!
Kante All Day Long
Damm people have short memories.
As per normal on social media, the next best thing is always the best ever.
This is not a debate if it's prime…Kante absolutely
Prime Kante 100%. Not even a question
Prime Kante with no doubt 😇 what Kante did at Leicester is not compared to what is, at City
rodri is a better footballer especially technically in terms of passing, shooting and Kante just has better stamina if we are gonna be real
Kante is basically a workhorse but to be honest rodri is technically miles ahead of him. and also playing as a pure 6 especially in the modern game where the 6 has to be very good technically and also have high IQ, then Rodri clears Kante by miles
Mancity last season are arguably the best premier league side of all time and Rodri is arguably their most important player and that says alot..Also Rodri is 27 and he just improves year in year out. Maybe Prime ''Prime Rodri" is yet to come
