John Terry has congratulated the Chelsea men’s and women’s
teams for reaching their respective Champions League finals and
paid tribute to goalscorer Mason Mount.
Emma Hayes’ side beat Bayern Munich 5-3 on aggregate,
overturning a 2-1 first-leg deficit to win 4-1 and reach their first
Champions League final, against Barcelona on May 16.
Thomas Tuchel’s team , meanwhile, clinched a 3-1 aggregate
victory over Real Madrid to set up an all-English final against
Manchester City on May 29.
Blues legend Terry took to Instagram to congratulate Chelsea for
their fantastic achievements, uploading a touching picture of
Mount playing for one of the club’s junior sides.
Mount has enjoyed a sensational season for Chelsea and scored
the club’s second goal in a 2-0 win over Real Madrid at Stamford
Bridge on Wednesday night.
Blues summer signing Timo Werner headed home Chelsea’s
opener and the win was no less than Tuchel’s side deserved
Tuchel, who replaced Frank Lampard as manager in January, said:
‘We deserved to win.
‘First off it’s difficult because Real had a lot of possession and
they made us suffer, but then we were dangerous with counter-
attacks and never lost the hunger, never lost their desire to defend.
Second half was even better, the structure to defend and in the
second half, we could’ve scored much earlier – I could’ve scored
more. It’s a fantastic achievement and big congratulations to the
team.
‘Real Madrid, of course, are always dangerous. they can turn
nothing into goals. So, to hang in there, even when you have
chances and miss them, they never lost concentration, focus, and
a positive energy on the pitch. This was a huge performance.’
Manchester City reached their first Champions League final after
knocking out last season’s runners-up Paris Saint-Germain in the
semi-finals.
