Club Career

Early career

Masopust was born in the town of Bozejov, near Pelhrimov. He began his football career there, before moving to Kamenice na Lipou and then to Jihlava in 2004. In 2012, Jihlava manager Frantisek Komnacky promoted him to the senior team and he went on to make his debut for the club against Slavia Prague that year. The match ended in a 3–3, to which Masopust contributed two assists.

In December 2014, Masopust reached an agreement to join Jablonec on 1 January 2015, on a contract running until 1 July 2018. He made his debut for the club against 1. FC Slovacko on 20 February 2015, coming on as a 75th minute substitute for Nermin Crnkic.

Slavia Prague

On 18 December 2018, Slavia Prague announced the signing of Masopust from Jablonec on a three and a half year contract. On 22 May 2019, Masopust scored Slavia's second goal in their 2–0 defeat of Banik Ostrava in the 2019 Czech Cup Final. On 20 August 2019, Masopust scored in Slavia Prague's UEFA Champions League first leg play-off win against Romanian side CFR Cluj. Slavia would win the second leg as well to qualify for the group stage of Europe's premier knock-out competition for just the second time in their history.

Masopust started for Slavia in the final of the Czech Cup on 20 May 2021, but was replaced by 19-year-old teammate Abdallah Sima in the 60th minute. Sima would go on to score the only goal of the game against Viktoria Plzen as Slavia won the league and cup double. In the final match of the league season on 29 May 2021, Slavia defeated Dynamo Ceske Budejovice to clinch an undefeated record in the league. It was the first time a Czech club reached this milestone since rivals Sparta Prague did so in 2009–10.
