Video: Here’s what a reporter told Mourinho after RB Leipzig bashing
‘Cheer up!’ might be the worst thing you can say to someone looking a bit glum but that didn’t stop one journalist saying exactly that to Jose Mourinho.
Spurs were sent crashing out of the Champions League by RB Leipzig on Tuesday night as the Germans won 3-0 on the night and 4-0 on aggregate.

It left the north London side with no chance of silverware this season and little chance of qualifying for next season’s Champions League so you could excuse Jose for not being too happy.
However one journalist decided to tell him to ‘cheer up,’ as the ‘season is going to be okay’ at the post match press conference.
Spurs went into the game 1-0 down on aggregate, after Timo Werner’s penalty in the first leg, and were lucky to still be in contention after Hugo Lloris’ excellent performance at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

However the goalkeeper was at fault for Leipzig’s opening two goals on Tuesday night. After a decent start by the away team Marcel Sabitzer scored the opener against the run of play as Lloris could only tamely get a weak hand to the shot from outside the area before it went in.
Sabitzer headed the second goal home from Angelino’s cross, after Serge Aurier’s failed to deal with a long ball, and again the keeper should have done better.
