Jose Mourinho showed his class by offering Edin Terzic words of wisdom after Borussia Dortmund’s defeat in the Champions League final.

Second-half goals from Dani Carvajal and Vinicius Junior condemned Dortmund to their second heartbreak in the penultimate game of European club football, 11 years after losing to Bayern Munich at the same stage.

Mourinho consoles Terzic

After the game, Mourinho watched on as Real Madrid players received their winners’ medals while Dortmund received the dreaded runners-up accolades.

The former Chelsea boss then exhibited his class by walking off-set and heading straight to the distraught Dortmund manager, Edin Terzic.

In a video by TNT Sports, the two share a quick embrace, and Mourinho appears to utter some words in Terzic’s ears.

According to GOAL, Mourinho later revealed what he had told the Dortmund boss.

He said, "[Terzic] was saying that 'It was very, very hard' and I was telling him, 'Time is not going to help you, it is going to be hard for the rest of your career, 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 could not do more, the coach cannot score or put the ball in the net. The coach can organise, the coach can give mentality, the coach can give confidence and you did all that."
