In this remastered episode of Soccer Bedtime Stories, we revisit the inspiring journey of one of football’s most humble heroes in “Underdogs: N’Golo Kanté.”

From cleaning streets in Paris to lifting the World Cup with France, N’Golo Kanté’s story is the ultimate underdog tale. Rejected by elite academies and overlooked by scouts, Kanté refused to quit. Instead, he quietly outworked everyone—rising through the lower leagues of France, stunning the Premier League with Leicester City’s miracle title, and dominating midfields for Chelsea and Les Bleus.

This updated edition includes new scenes from his triumphant return to the French national team at Euro 2024, where he claimed back-to-back Player of the Match awards and wore the captain’s armband for the very first time. We also highlight his defining moments at Caen, his legendary tackle stats at Leicester, and even his decision to drive a modest Mini Hatch—because it was easy to learn on.

✨ A tale of quiet strength, relentless heart, and the power of belief. Perfect for listeners of all ages.

Long before the trophies, the headlines, and the fairy-tale ending, Leicester City were written off as outsiders. A club expected to struggle, survive, and quietly fade into the background. Instead, during the 2015–16 season, they rewrote the rules of English football and shocked the world by winning the Premier League against seemingly impossible odds.

This soothing bedtime story follows Leicester’s rise from newly promoted side to champions of England, guided by belief, teamwork, and moments of pure magic.
