Jose Mourinho displayed his class as he consoled Borussia Dortmund boss Edin Terzic after the Champions League final.
Terzic’s men suffered a 2-0 defeat by Real Madrid in an enthralling showdown at Wembley Stadium with by Dani Carvajal and Vinicius Jnr scoring second-half goals.
It meant Real strengthened their grip on Europe’s elite competition, claiming their 15th title while it was Carlo Ancelotti fifth as a manager.
Mourinho, who is set to become the new manager of Fenerbahce, was drafted in as a pundit for TNT Sport but momentarily walked away to share a few words with Terzic once the match ended.
Host Laura Woods explained: ‘We’ve lost Jose Mourinho, he’s marched onto the pitch… I tell you what he’s doing, he’s going over to see Edin Terzic and I imagine consoling him.

‘A really classy moment. A really classy moment between two managers.’
Woods then asked Mourinho what he said to Terzic and he replied: ‘He was saying that it’s very very hard and I was telling him time is not going to help.
‘It’s going to be hard for the rest of your career, for the rest of your life, but you have to be proud of the work you did because you did amazing.
‘As a coach you couldn’t do more. The coach can not score. The coach can not put the ball in the net. The coach can organise. The coach can give mentality. The coach can give confidence and he did all that.
‘The approach was amazing. They were brave. They make a good difference between what is press high and making the block a little bit lower.
‘They did good covers to Vinicius and Rodrygo, never one against one, always with a good cover.
‘They did everything well apart from scoring. So as a coach he has to be proud but he’s not going to forget.
After teasing earlier in the day about his pending move to Fenerbahce, Mourinho later confirmed his appointment on the club’s social media.
