JOSE MOURINHO walked off the TNT Sports set to share a “classy” moment with Borussia Dortmund boss Edin Terzic.
The Special One was working as a pundit as Real Madrid beat the German giants 2-0 in Champions League final last night.
Dortmund travelled to Wembley as the underdogs but dominated the game for large periods before Los Blancos picked up their 15th European crown thanks to goals from Dani Carvajal and Vinicius Junior.
A heartbroken Terzic led his side as they collected their runners-up medals.
And while they stood disappointed as Real Madrid partied, Mourinho rushed over to their manager.
The legendary boss, who was working as a pundit for TNT Sports, embraced Terzic as the pair shared words.

Mourinho later explained: “He was saying that it’s very hard.
“I was telling him ‘time is not going to help you, it’s going to be very hard for the rest of your life but you have to be proud of the work you did because you did amazing’.
“The coach cannot score. The coach can organise and give mentality and confidence and he did all that.
“He’s not the guy to go and kick the ball into the net.
“The approach was amazing. They did everything well apart from score.”
Fans also praised Mourinho, with one saying: “He just walked 40 yards on to the pitch to hug and console Edin Terzic. It was a lovely touch.”
Another added: “A masterclass in sportsmanship.”
More wrote: “Rather than celebrating with his former club, the first thing he does is commiserate Edin Terzic. Class.”
Jose later revealed what he said to Terzic, explaining: “I was telling him that time is not going to help you.
“It’s going to be very hard for the rest of your career and the rest of your life – but you have to be very proud of the work you did because you did amazing.
“As a coach you couldn’t do more, the coach cannot score, the coach can organise and give mentality, give confidence and he did all that.
“He’s not the guy to go and kick the ball into the net, which is what his team missed.
“But the approach was amazing, they did everything well apart from scoring, so as a coach, he has to be proud.
“But he is not going to forget.”
