Chelsea star Mason Mount has admitted to idolising Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo while he was growing up.
On Thursday night, Mount lined up against Ronaldo as United hosted the Blues at Old Trafford. And the Chelsea academy product was able to witness Ronaldo's magic first-hand when he powered home a close-range finish to bring the Reds level.
Speaking to Amazon Prime, Mount explained how Cristiano was an inspiration during his time growing up despite being a Portsmouth fan. He explained: "I think everyone has seen the video of when I was younger basing my free kick off him. I always watched him very closely when he was at United as a young kid. I loved the way he played, his free kicks.
