Mason Mount has sent a perfectly timed Champions League message to Chelsea fans ahead of their final group stage game against Dinamo Zagreb.
His post came just minutes after London rivals Tottenham conceded to Chancel Mbemba in their decisive clash against Marseille and rubbed salt in the wounds of Spurs fans.
Antonio Conte's men only needed one point from their match in France but fell behind to Mbemba's late first-half header. Marseille, who needed to win themselves to gain qualification from the group, dominated for large portions of the half.

In a moment of petty brilliance from Mount, or pure coincidence, he tweeted: "Champions League nights. Let's finish strong!" It came less than 10 minutes after Spurs fell behind and will have made Blues fans even happier than they already were to see their bitter rivals and former manager at panic stations in Europe.
Conte only managed one season of Champions League football at Stamford Bridge and saw Chelsea crash out in the last-16 after losing to Barcelona. The Italian has had an up-and-down time across London since being called upon to take over from Nuno Espirito Santo and was involved in a bust-up with Thomas Tuchel earlier this season after the two sides drew 2-2 in a firey game at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea, who have now won the Champions League twice, still remain the only team in London with a European trophy, whilst Tottenham haven't won a knockout tie since reaching the final in 2019.
