Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho was told to "cheer up" by a reporter in the aftermath of their Champions League defeat at RB Leipzig.

The 3-0 result saw Spurs eliminated from the competition.

A downbeat Mourinho admitted after such a deflating loss that Tottenham faced a "very, very difficult" task to get back into the competition next season in a press conference that ended in bizarre fashion after a reporter told the Portuguese to "cheer up".

"Cheer up, it's going to be alright," he said in footage captured by Hayters TV shortly after the questions had wrapped up.

Mourinho looked somewhat surprised in response as he asked, "what?".

The reporter replied: "It's going to be okay, cheer up."

Mourinho, now half-smiling then repeated "what?", before the reporter added: "This season, it's going to be okay."

The unusual exchange is completed by Mourinho, looking more upbeat, saying "yeah?" before leaving the room.
