Chelsea fans are expressing regret on social media, claiming the club’s board did them a disservice by selling N’Golo Kante to Al-Ittihad. The French World Cup-winning midfielder, now 32, departed Stamford Bridge this summer after seven successful years, contributing to Chelsea’s triumphs, including the Premier League, Champions League, and Europa League.

Despite injuries affecting Kante’s later years at Chelsea, supporters were quick to miss him after witnessing his impressive debut goal for Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia. The sentiment intensified as Kante scored another remarkable goal in the Club World Cup opener against Auckland City. His half-volley from the edge of the area showcased his prowess, leaving Chelsea fans on social media longing for his return.

Some fans expressed frustration, claiming the Chelsea board treated them unfairly by selling a player of Kante’s caliber. Others suggested that, given Kante’s current form, Chelsea should consider bringing him back. The admiration for Kante’s humility and the sentiment of missing the beloved midfielder resonated across Chelsea’s fanbase, fueled by his continued stellar performances with Al-Ittihad.

Here is the highlight video of Al-Ittihad vs. Auckland City, which ended with a 3-0 victory for Al-Ittihad.
