“Good luck in the final”: Luka Modric Wishes Mason Mount: Mount was crucial to Chelsea’s clinical 2-0 win against Real Madrid on Wednesday
For Mason Mount, the ongoing season has been a pathbreaking one. Be it Frank Lampard or Thomas Tuchel, the starlet has emerged as one of the most pristine performers for Chelsea this term.
A mainstay of Tuchel’s modus operandi, Mount showed why he’s grown so highly in stature in such little time on Wednesday. Netting for his side in the club’s tie against Real Madrid, Mount’s goal was a crucial one in ensuring Chelsea defeated their La Liga opponents 2-0 on the night.

His electric performance was not only hailed by Chelsea supporters but by Real Madrid’s Luka Modric as well. The Real Madrid midfielder was quick to appreciate ensuing the clash as we wished the Chelsea midfielder luck for the showpiece summit clash.
“Mason Mount. Good luck in the final,” Modric said as he embraced Mount after the clash.
“Thank you, thank you,” Mount replied.
The praise is bound to have been worth its weight in gold for Mount with the Chelsea midfielder having earlier talked about how he used to watch Modric’s videos when he was a kid.
Mount’s gripping displays have seen him emerge as one of the outright favourites for the title of Chelsea’s player of the season. The Englishman has not only controlled the midfield for his side but has utilised his innate ability to come up with scorching hits to perfection.
The wonderkid has struck on crucial junctures this term to guide Chelsea to the FA Cup and Champions League finals. The London based club will be wishing Mount can dish out a spitting image of his match winning display against Real Madrid when the club takes on Manchester City at the weekend.
The contest is not only a critical one for Chelsea in their race for the top 4 but also given the fact that both these sides will be locking heads in the Champions League final as well.
