Mason Mount Joins Wayne Rooney To a Champions League Record After Scoring Madrid

Mason Mount was one of the very standout performers in Chelsea’s 2-0 win over Real Madrid at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night. The result has seen the Blues progress to the Champions League finals for the first time since 2012, and they are bound to face off Manchester City for the grand finale.

The young Englishman got a well-deserved goal against the Spanish giants in the encounter with a cool finish from Christian Pulisic’s inch-perfect cross.

With the goal, Mason Mount becomes the second-youngest English player to ever score in a UEFA Champions League semi-final, after Wayne Rooney in 2007.
