While attackers try to penetrate the “The Major’s” defenses, the duo appears like a storm, cutting passes, stealing balls, and preventing shots, as if they are an impenetrable shield.
No one expected these two players to have such a huge impact, but the numbers don’t lie, and football history is being rewritten by their hands.
N’Golo Kanté recorded 60 successful interceptions, topping the list of players with the most opponent passes cut this season.
Brazilian player Fabinho caught the eye with 76 successful steals, outperforming everyone except Carlo Muhar.
With 17 successful blocks, Kanté topped the list of midfielders with the most prevented shots in the league.
Fabinho didn’t lag far behind, achieving 14 blocks, confirming his strong presence and crucial defensive role.
Statistics highlight that Kanté and Fabinho are the backbone of the Union’s defense this season, with numbers that speak for themselves.
