IT’S an exciting time to be an England fan with two of the top young talents in world football ready to usher in a new Golden Generation.Mason Mount and Phil Foden have long been tipped as stars of the future.
How Phil Foden and Mason Mount compare in all competitions this season
But after helping lead Chelsea and Manchester City to the Champions League final earlier this week, their stock has never been higher.
Mount, 22, and Foden, 20, have both been making waves for club and country.
The Chelsea man particularly is now a near-ever-present in Gareth Southgate’s England squad.
Foden, too, is surely a shoo-in for this summer’s Euro 2020 squad.
Three Lions fans can sit back and just enjoy watching the midfield maestros strut their stuff week-in and week-out – now both undroppable for their clubs.
Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand even went as far as saying the pair could be GOATs of the future.
Ferdinand told BT Sport: “I think Mason Mount and Phil Foden could be two of the best players in the world in the future.
“These players have the potential to be on the top table of world football.”

But which of the pair has enjoyed the better 2020-21 campaign so far?
We’ve taken a look at both players’ incredible stats across all competitions this season and it makes for incredible reading.
Both Mount and Foden have played nearly 50 times this season – with the Chelsea man leading 49 to 46.
The Blues midfielder has played more minutes at 3,800 to Foden’s 3,119.
Despite that, Foden has scored AND assisted more this season.
The City star has scored 14 times and laid on ten assists, with Mount chipping in with nine goals and seven assists.
Mount leads the way in chances created with 97 to Foden’s 74 – while also completing over 600 more passes (2,175 vs 1,550).

But Foden’s passing accuracy is marginally higher at 88 per cent to Mount’s 87 per cent.
The Chelsea man has attempted six dribbles more than the City star at 125 to 119.
However, Foden is completing them more often with a 55 per cent success rate to Mount’s 50 per cent.
Mount has taken nearly 1,000 extra touches compared to Foden (3,110 vs 2,224) while earning one more foul (53 vs 52).
But the City man has enjoyed more team success, with a sky-high 80 per cent win rate when he’s been in the team, with the Chelsea star coming out on top in 55 per cent of games.
Ultimately, it’s too close to call across the board. Chelsea and Man City both have superstars for the next decade or more.
And so do England…

Edouard Mendy and the Chelsea team celebrate in the dressing room after easy Real Madrid Champions League semi-final win More

UEFA have named their Champions League Team of the Week – made up exclusively of Premier League players.Chelsea booked their place in the final in Istanbul by beating Real Madrid on Wednesday night, joining Manchester City who blew by Paris Saint-Germain a night earlier.

Uefa have now named their best XI from the Champions League semi-final second legs – with only Blues and City stars making the cut.
But bizarrely, there was no room for N’Golo Kante who’s defensive midfield masterclass shut down Real Madrid’s star-studded midfield trio of Toni Kroos, Luka Modric and Casemiro.
Europe’s governing body opted for an obscure 5-1-3-1 formation – meaning there was room for just one central midfielder.
Uefa opted for Mason Mount over Kante in that spot, with the England ace scoring the tie-clinching second goal at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday evening.
In goal, Edouard Mendy was an absolute shoo-in after his flawless performance against Real.
The French stopper – who shared Chelsea’s incredible dressing room celebrations on social media – made a series of stunning saves to keep the Blues in the tie, as Timo Werner and Mount did the business up the other end.
In defence, Kyle Walker and Ben Chilwell take the wing-back slots after shutting down Neymar and Vinicius Jr respectively.
Cesar Azpilicueta, Thiago Silva and Ruben Dias locked in the three central defensive positions after phenomenal individual performances during the week.

Dias kept superstar Kylian Mbappe out of the game at the Etihad, while Silva and Azpilicueta ensured Karim Benzema and Eden Hazard were utterly anonymous in West London.
Werner – who nodded into an empty net from one yard out – leads the line after putting in a lung-busting shift on Wednesday.
He has three attacking midfielders for support in Uefa’s Champions League Team of the Week.
Man City and England whiz Phil Foden takes the left-wing spot, with two-goal hero Riyad Mahrez on the right.
Kai Havertz takes the No10 slot playing off his Chelsea pal Werner in the team after a strong performance against Los Blancos.
However, their inclusion means there’s no room for superstar Kevin De Bruyne in this week’s XI.

Edouard Mendy made a string of sublime saves as Thomas Tuchel’s men were almost made to pay for their wastefulness in front of goal.
But Mason Mount killed off the tie with a late goal to set up an all-English Champions League final with Manchester City.
And after celebrating on the pitch, Chelsea’s heroes retired to the dressing room to carry on the party.
Mendy shared a video of his team-mates going nuts in wild scenes while outside the ground dozens of Blues fans – ignoring social distancing guidelines – celebrated a first final in the competition since 2012 in the streets of west London.
Defender Antonio Rudiger tweeted a picture from the dressing room which read: “WE DID IT. Off to the final!!! #whatateam #Hustle #AlwaysBelieve”.
Mateo Kovacic shared the same snap with the caption: “Istanbul next!”
Ben Chilwell added: “This team!”
Callum Hudson-Odoi shared a group picture with the message: “FINALSS HERE WE COMEEEE!!!”

Kai Havertz tweeted a series of in-game pictures, captioned: “FINALLLLL”.
Billy Gilmour added: “Istanbul here we come!!!”
After the game, Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta lauded the battling Blues for booking their spot in the final – chasing a first Champions League title in nine years.
Azpilicueta said: “We have a fantastic squad, everybody pushes hard in training, to be together, to fight for everyone and to help each other.
“This is massive and we have created a strong group. We have plenty of things to fight for.
“It’s a Champions League final… we have played City lots of times but it’s the Champions League final.
“We believe in ourselves, we know we have to work hard but we are ready for it.”

Goalscorer Mount added: “I can’t put into words. Great performance tonight.
“We should’ve probably had about five…
“To get that one late on, you can see by the celebrations, it was a massive goal for us and gave us breathing space in the last five minutes.
“We gave everything and we had that desire to win first half.
“We haven’t won anything yet. Hopefully we’ve got two massive cup finals and hopefully we can win.”
Chelsea legend Didier Drogba even got in on the celebrations, tweeting: “Let’s goooooooooooooo. We are going to Istanbul my People.”

CHELSEA beat Real Madrid 2-0 to see them head through to the Champions League final in a memorable match for the Blues. Thomas Tuchel’s men ultimately won the tie 3-1 on aggregate following the first-leg draw in Madrid.

But it could have been even more comfortable for the Blues, who bossed it from start to finish at Stamford Bridge, apart from a couple of world-class saves from Edouard Mendy to deny Karim Benzema in the first half.
Mason Mount’s late strike eventually made it safe for the Blues.
But it could, and should, have been a totally different ball game for Chelsea as chance after chance went begging. In the end, they could probably have actually won by four or five.
It was a world-class performance from Chelsea over the two legs to get to the final of domestic football’s most prestigious competition.
But – without being too negative – they were wasteful and on another night may have fallen foul of a sucker punch and not made the final in Istanbul.
Their attack is young and still learning, so it is something that will improve and get better in time.
When they get better in the final third and make better decisions they will be challenging to be one of the best teams in the world under Tuchel.
The German coach has come in and brought confidence to this whole squad – getting them playing some great and pragmatic football, too.

They looked organised and professional over the two legs against one of football’s giants in Real Madrid, who they actually ended up making look fairly average in the end. 
Chelsea are said to be in the hunt for a new big-name striker this summer.
Can you even begin to imagine just how good they can be when they bring that player in?
The sky will be the limit for this team and Tuchel is building something special here.
The former Paris Saint-Germain chief is creating a team no-one will want to play against.
And that’s exactly what Tuchel promised on his arrival at Chelsea.

But how did Chelsea’s players fare in Wednesday’s West London showdown en route to a 3-1 aggregate victory? Here are SunSport’s ratings…
Edouard Mendy – 10
Made a pair of world class saves from Karim Benzema in the first half to keep Chelsea in control of the tie.
A calming presence after the break and Blues coasted into the final.
Andreas Christensen – 8
He was solid and putting himself about physically, not letting Real Madrid’s attackers settle too much on the ball.
Thiago Silva – 8
Lead by example and was confident and composed at the heart of the defence again. Made it look easy at times. 
Antonio Rudiger – 9
The German defender was riled and well up for this, as he played in his face mask.
His storming runs forward with the ball troubled Madrid, and he defended like a maniac.

Cesar Azpilicueta – 8
Used his experience wisely to win free kicks or to break up potential counter attacks.
His presence and experience was definitely a plus for Chelsea tonight.
N’Golo Kante – 9
Kante was being Kante, breaking up play, not giving Real Madrid any time to settle on the ball.
He defended his heart out, and even helped create the goal for Timo Werner in the first half.
Jorginho – 9
Did well to compose himself after being booked early on and was instrumental in a lot of Chelsea’s play.
Made many great interceptions and defended very well.
Ben Chilwell – 7
Decent game, but he seemed to be bothered by an early tussle with Vincius Jr that continued to put him off. He largely defended well against the pacy Brazilian though.
Mason Mount – 8
He was everywhere again and is such an important player for Chelsea’s intensity and counter attacks.
Could have made better decisions with some of his passes in the final third though.
Took his late goal well to send Chelsea to the final.
Timor Werner impressed by grabbing the opening goal and with his work-rateCredit: AFP
Timo Werner – 8
Really could not miss his first-half goal.
But again he was a nuisance to the Real Madrid backline with his pace and intense pressing and he attacked well with the ball.
Kai Havertz – 8
Same as Mount, he could have made better decisions in the final third at times, but his overall game and work rate was excellent.
He looked to be a threat whenever he got the ball.
SUBS
Christian Pulisic for Werner (67 mins) – 9: Had an instant impact with his direct play and pace, did well to keep hold of possession for Chelsea.
Reece James for Azpilicueta (88 mins) – N/A
Hakim Ziyech for Mount (89 mins) – N/A
