Jose Mourinho makes Spurs and Liverpool Champions League final prediction

Jose Mourinho has offered his verdict on the Champions League final between Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur.

Liverpool booked their place in Madrid on Tuesday night after overturning a 3-0 deficit in Barcelona to win 4-3 at Anfield after an incredible second-leg comeback.

They will take on Spurs,who followed in their footsteps on Wednesday as they came from behind to beat Ajax, with Lucas Moura scoring three times to seal a 3-2 win and progression on away goals.

The former Manchester United boss was a pundit for the Tottenham game for beIN Sports and he admitted that either club would deserve to win the trophy.

"I think a very good quality for a manager is to read the battle, to read your soldiers and their qualities and to try to win that battle," he said.

"Football is to have fun, football is to make people jump in front of the screen like the last two days, but football is about winning. Football is about winning.

"To speak about football, I will be in trouble in the final because I like Mauricio and Jurgen very, very much and I think they both deserve to win a trophy.

"The first trophy for Jurgen with Liverpool, the first trophy for Mauricio with Spurs and I think it will be a fantastic final.
