N'Golo Kante was uncharacteristically average when he played for France against Croatia in Sunday's World Cup final.
Many would have noticed that the midfielder was a bit off his game during the match, so much so that he was taken off by Didier Deschamps after playing ten minutes in the second half.
Following an otherwise remarkable campaign for Les Bleus, Kante played below his personal standards on Sunday, yet the French were able to overpower Zlatco Dalic's valiant band and emerged 4-2 victors.
According to Le Parisien, Kante's unusual, sub-par showing may have been due to him starting the match with an illness.
