Here is where things took a curious turn, though: Kante was recognised at the mosque by a group of football fans, later accepting their invitation to spend the evening in their company.
When N’Golo Kante turns up at your house in time for a brew and #MOTD 😂
After sitting down for a curry meal, the midfielder strutted his stuff virtually on FIFA, and even sat down to watch himself on Match of the Day afterwards.
Kante’s gracious acceptance of a stranger’s hospitality is very much in keeping with his reputation as one of football’s most down to earth, humble characters.
And he certainly left a big impression on his gracious hosts, who documented the amazing encounter on social media.
“World Cup winner, former premier league player of the year, two-time premiership winner casually joined us to watch MOTD after visiting a local mosque,” one of the lucky fans said on Twitter.
“True definition of being humble. What a man.”
