Rio Ferdinand has been proven right following Mason Mount's superlative display against Real Madrid. The former Manchester United defender tipped the Cobham graduate to ignite Timo Werner into action against the odds.
The Germany international's feature in the Blues' starting eleven stemmed from his impressive display against Southampton at the weekend. Mount, who featured alongside Werner at St Mary's, has proved pivotal - once again - in the striker recapturing the form he once enjoyed at RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga.
The former Manchester United defender showered the England international with praise on BT Sport ahead of the tie. Ferdinand stressed that the 23-year-old's 'infectious' personality on the pitch would help Werner prove his doubters wrong.
