Watch: Chelsea's Mount stays hot with slick goal vs. Real Madrid
Chelsea’s Mason Mount swept the ball past Thibaut Courtois to reignite Tuesday’s Champions League decider against Real Madrid.
The Blues, who fell 3-1 at Stamford Bridge in the opening leg of their quarterfinal meeting with the Spanish giants, were given hope of keeping their Champions League defense alive thanks to Mount’s 15th-minute opener.

Mount is just the third Englishman to score a Champions League goal against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu, following Leeds United’s Alan Smith (2001) and Arsenal’s Danny Welbeck (2013).
The goal kickstarted a wild affair in the Spanish capital, as Real Madrid recovered from three consecutive Chelsea tallies and, despite losing the match, did enough to claim a 5-4 aggregate triumph in extra time.
