Atletico Madrid star Joao Felix says he admires Chelsea star Mason Mount ahead of their Champions League clash.

The two youngsters are expected to confront each other as Atletico Madrid face Chelsea in tomorrow night’s Round of 16 first leg in Budapest.

Felix told the Mail: “I like the way he [Mount] plays, the way he likes to drag the ball, the way he touches the ball.

“I played with Chris Willock in Benfica three or four years ago and he told me that Chelsea has a guy that he sees who is similar to me and he told me it was Mason Mount.

“A few years later he appeared in Chelsea and I like the way he plays.”
