N’GOLO KANTE’S casual reaction to Cristiano Ronaldo left fans in stitches after a hilarious moment was caught on camera.
Footage showed Cristiano Ronaldo greeting players from rival club Al-Ittihad ahead of Saudi’s version of the El Classico but it was the moment Kante walked past him without even a glance that had fans cracking up.

One fan quipped, “Only Kante could stroll past Ronaldo like he’s just another guy in the canteen.
Another joked, “Kante’s too busy keeping it humble to notice who’s standing next to him!”
It wasn’t just Kante’s incredible football skills that made him famous, but his modesty off the pitch that continues to win over hearts around the world.
Known for his shy, down-to-earth persona, Kante became a fan favorite during his nine-year spell in the Premier League with Leicester City and Chelsea.
Despite being one of the highest-paid players in England, he famously never upgraded his trusty old Mini Cooper, preferring to live simply despite his wealth.
The stories of Kante’s shy nature are endless.
He was never one for the spotlight, even after winning the Premier League, FA Cup, and World Cup.
While other players basked in the glory of fame, Kante quietly got on with his job, letting his football do the talking instead.

He made it clear that he wasn’t interested in the glitzy lifestyle many of his peers embraced.
Instead of flaunting designer clothes and luxury cars, Kante often showed up at Chelsea’s training ground in casual gear, a sharp contrast to teammates who were always sporting the latest fashion.
On the pitch, Kante was a midfield machine, never stopping, never seeking praise.
Off the pitch, Kante’s relationship with fans showed how grounded he really was.
He had to be forced by his team-mates to take centre-stage after winning the World Cup with France.
And he shunned advice to channel his wages through off-shore accounts to reduce his tax liabilities – preferring to pay his dues in the UK.
When former Leicester defender Cedric Kipre struggled to find a home to live, Kante let him crash at his…. with his brother.
“I lived at N’Golo’s house for a month when I was at Leicester,” Kipre told Goal.
“I had a problem with my apartment and he hosted my brother and me. Not everyone would have done it, and it was really nice of him.
“Today, I’m proud to have met someone like him. There is nobody more humble than N’Golo.”
