Jose Mourinho is happy seeing Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp and Tottenham's Mauricio Pochettino reach the Champions League final.

Giving his verdict on two quite remarkable comebacks, Mourinho was praising of his two former nemeses.

"I will be in trouble in the final because I like Mauricio and Jurgen very, very much and I think they both deserve to win a trophy!" said Mourinho.

Reflecting on his own experience in the competition Mourinho, who won the Champions League with both Porto and Inter Milan, admitted it was a case of knowing your players.

"You have to read the battle, to read your soldiers and their qualities," said the Portuguese.

"Football is to have fun but football is about winning."
