“It wasn’t awkward in the slightest,” Chilwell said of the reunion with the City players, as reported by the Guardian.
“If anything, and it’s quite weird to say, it’s actually brought us closer. To share a Champions League final, although they were on the losing side - it’s going to be good for us, put us in good stead going into this tournament. It can only be a positive.
“It obviously gives you confidence. I spoke to Gareth when I first came in – it was me and Mason in the conversation – and we said if you can win the Champions League, you can go on to win the Euros now.
“There’s always the belief you can do it but to win the Champions League and go on to the next tournament, you have that real belief you can go on to win the Euros, as well.”
Winning the Champions League is a huge achievement and it is sure to have galvanized all the players in Chelsea's squad to achieve greater things.
Ben Chilwell and Mason Mount are almost sure to start for the Three Lions and if the two can replicate their club form, then two European trophies in one summer might not be out of the question.
