Jose Mourinho has defended Tottenham team selection for Wednesday's 3-1 loss to Bayern Munich.

Fans were disappointed not to see Troy Parrott given his Champions League debut, with Mourinho using Son Heung-min as a substitute instead.

"I am happy with the decisions I made, I hope our supporters understand what I did," said Mourinho.

"Internally we all agreed that was the best option for the players that are playing every minute and also the best option for the players that are not playing and for the young players that need to develop.

"So internally we made this decision and we think it was the best decision for the team.

"We risked because we played against a very good team, a team that came with two defeats in a row, a team that cannot lose tonight a third match in a row, a second at home.

"So we knew they would come very strong, on top of that they had a bench full of top players, so if they needed in extreme situations Lewandowski to come to the game they would have him on the bench. I decided not to have even Kane or Alli on the bench."
