Mason Mount had received notice that Luka Modric wanted to talk, but even still, the reality of their meeting took time to process. 'I'd spoken to Mateo Kovacic before the first leg and asked if I could get Modric's shirt at a later date,' said Mount. Mason Mount (L) believes he knows Luka Modric's moves after looking up to him as a kid🗣"It helps being a fan of a player and playing against him." But Modric, 35, is also humble and recognises quality, something which oozes from the Chelsea star. 'I look back at the pictures now and we all look so young,' Mount said, smiling at the memory.
