France threw a homecoming party in Paris to celebrate this summer's World Cup triumph after beating Holland 2-1 in the UEFA Nations League on Sunday night.
N'Golo Kante may be one of France's more reserved characters but he was thrust into the spotlight by his team-mates who sang a song dedicated to the Chelsea midfielder, before getting thousands of fans at the Stade de France to join in.
The song, sung to the tune of Joe Dassin's 1969 hit 'Les Champs Elysées', translates into English to: 'Ohh N'Golo Kante, ohh N'Golo Kante... He is short, he is nice, he's the one who stopped Leo Messi, but we all know he's a cheater (at cards), N'Golo Kante!'

Hoards of fans joined in and sang: 'He is short, he is nice, he's the one who stopped Leo Messi, but we all know he's a cheater'
The World Cup trophy was introduced to the thousands of jubilant French fans amid a smoky scene and a light show
Paul Pogba was one of the players orchestrating the crowd while they serenaded Kante, but the Manchester United ace put on a performance of his own as he brought out the 'Milly Rock' dance and the dab.
The celebration party started well before kickoff with video footage depicting fans celebrating across the country on July 15 when France defeated Croatia 4-2 in the World Cup final.
The highlights of France's campaign were then played on big screens, with every French goal igniting big roars in the stands.
The party continued after the match ended with a sound and light show consisting of the France players introduced one-by-one before a lap of honour with the World Cup trophy.
It would have been less of a party had Olivier Giroud not scored a 75th-minute winner to give France their first victory in the newly-formed UEFA Nations League.

Kylian Mbappe, who scored the opening goal in Sunday's 2-1 win over Holland in Saint-Denis, kissed the World Cup trophy
Giroud's 32nd international goal — which saw him eclipse the tally of France legend Zinedine Zidane — secured all three points after Ryan Babel had cancelled out Kylian Mbappe's first-half opener.
France coach Didier Deschamps said in his press conference: 'The win was the most important thing in order to make this a beautiful party.
'I'm very happy for Olivier Giroud. Strikers go through periods when they don't score as many goals.
'He's useful to our play and he scored a lovely goal that gave us the win this evening.
'We're going to savour it. There was a formidable atmosphere this evening and it's going to carry on for a bit.'
Griezmann then joined Mbappe and the strike duo kissed the trophy simultaneously while posing for the cameras in Paris

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
