A reported has shown Jose Mourinho that although Tottenham may be out of the Uefa Champions League, it's not the end of the world.

Mourinho's Tottenham team suffered a 3-0 (4-0 aggregate) thrashing away to RB Leipzig in the second leg of the UCL round of 16 on Tuesday.

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

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