MASON MOUNT RECOUNTS UCL MEMORY IN MUNICH WHEN HE WAS THIRTEEN

Mason Mount admits he was inspired by Chelsea's 2012 Champions League heroes. Mount was 13 years old and up late on a Saturday night when Chelsea won in Munich and the Champions League cast its spell.

Didier Drogba's goal, Petr Cech's penalty saves, the nerve-jangling shootout, the famous trophy thrust into the Bavarian sky by John Terry and Frank Lampard, and those jubilant images flickered through his mind again on Wednesday.

'For me, it started the dream,' said Mount, after scoring the final goal in a 3-1 aggregate win over Real Madrid in the semi-final and seal Chelsea's return to the most illustrious club fixture in world football.

'I was at home in my front room, watching with my family. My dad let me stay up and watch the game. It was unbelievable, to see the atmosphere, see the celebrations and see the legends that were at this club achieve greatness.

'I want to do it with this team and we've given ourselves a great opportunity to achieve it. We have the confidence and we know we can do it. It's one more game to go but it's going to be a very tough one.'

Manchester City await in the Champions League final in Istanbul but, before then, Chelsea have an FA Cup final against Leicester and four remaining Premier League fixtures, starting at City, on Saturday.

Chelsea has two finals in the month of May. An FA CUP final in Wembley agsinst Liecester city, before facing the cityzens again on the 29th of May to draw the curtain on an impressive season.
