Bayern Munich coach Louis van Gaal is a big fan of Inter Milan counterpart Jose Mourinho.

Van Gaal counted on Mourinho as an assistant while in charge of Barcelona and will now face his good friend in the Champions League final.

The Dutchman said: "He took his work very seriously. He was very punctual and brought me his analyses at home.

"At that time he was very humble. It has been wonderful to assist in his evolution, seeing him gradually become a personality."

However, Van Gaal was unimpressed by Mourinho's celebrations at the Nou Camp after Inter's semifinal success.

"I would not have done it. I would not have behaved in such a provocative way," he added.
