Cesar Azpilicueta makes Mason Mount prediction after Chelsea penalty heartbreak vs Liverpool

Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta has predicted Mason Mount will bounce back after the Blues lost to Liverpool on penalties for a second time this season at Wembley.

Neither Chelsea or Liverpool were able to break the deadlock after 120 minutes of play as the two teams had to settle a domestic cup final on penalties once again. Azpilicueta stepped up second for the Blues but saw his spot kick hit the post, handing the Reds an early advantage.

After Sadio Mane's penalty was saved by Edouard Mendy, the shoot-out went to sudden death with Mount's penalty being saved by Liverpool's Alisson Becker before Kostas Tsimikas won it for Jurgen Klopp's side. Azpilicueta has backed Mount after the England international lost his sixth consecutive Wembley final stating the 23-year-old will 'have a lot of chances' in his career to bounce back.
