Chelsea ace Mason Mount: We must stick together

Chelsea ace Mason Mount has urged the club to stick together after their Champions League collapse against Real Madrid.

Mount admitted every game until the end of the season is now a "final" as Thomas Tuchel warned his players their season is in danger of unravelling.

A stunning Karim Benzema hat-trick earned Real a 3-1 win at Stamford Bridge in last night's Champions League quarter-final first leg and condemned the Blues to back-to-back home defeats following the 4-1 loss to Brentford on Saturday.

"We know how tough it's going to be at their place and we need to regroup," Mount said. "It starts today, getting together as a group and then attacking every single game with 100 per cent until the end of the season because every game is a final now.

"In the League, in the Champions League, FA Cup, any game we play. We've got a massive mountain to climb next week but we're Chelsea. If there's any team that can do it, it's us. We'll give it everything. We've got that hunger and desire to really accomplish something.

“We managed to get one back and then obviously we conceded again. There's stuff to look at and focus on but this is football and at the top level little things can punish you.

"We're a group that really sticks together and we're going to have to do that massively, from now until the end of the season. We have to stick together, be a family, attack every game. That's what we have left."
