FC Bayern barely gave FC Chelsea a chance in the Champions League. Mason Mount talks with great respect about Thiago and Co. FC Bayern has provided a
historic moment on its triumphant move to the final of the Champions League with the edge victory over FC Barcelona.
But even before the dismantling of the Spanish top club, the German record champion delivered strong performances in the top class. For example, in the superior 3-0 victory against Chelsea in the quarter-finals. The Reds gave the blues virtually no chance at Stamford Bridge – as Chelsea star Mason Mount almost reverently admitted.
“Bavaria has some incredible world-class players … Lewandowski, Kimmich and Thiago in midfield, I just couldn’t get ahold of him,” said the 21-year-old, who is currently with the English national team, in an interview with SportBible.
Bavarian bankruptcy as a valuable lesson
Bavaria moved the ball so fast in the team: “When you compete against such players, you ask yourself: ‘How are we supposed to stop this?’. It was an important moment, it opened its eyes.” The Munich people’s demonstration of power made it clear to him: “This is the next level, you have to get there.” And now he wants to work on it.
