Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount is determined to build on last season's success.
Mount finished the campaign a Champions League winner and helped England reach the final of Euro 2020.
He told The Sun: “It was a long, long season. I think I ended up playing nearly 70 games in total. It all came down to that one game with England and you know that after that one match, the season's done.
“It didn't finish the way we wanted it to and I felt emotionally drained afterwards.
“When you go through the experiences I have with the Champions League then straight to meeting up with the England squad, being in camp with the boys for over a month and going through what we went through, character-wise, on and off the pitch, you grow up.
“For us at Chelsea to win the Champions League and go through that whole campaign and go all the way was just unbelievable.
“That night was probably one of the best nights of my life.
“To go from that high to meeting up with England, knowing what we were going into, the hard work we put in and how much the country was behind us.
“Plus the atmosphere every time we played at Wembley or even away in Rome, it was special. I will treasure it.
“Of course, there was disappointment, heartache. But I went into the stands, where ten of my family were waiting and they told me we shouldn't be too hard on ourselves. We had done something no England team had achieved before.
“There was no expectation for us to get that far. My dad just told that now it was time to rest — and recover."
