Jose Mourinho walked out on a journalist during the post-match conference after Tottenham were beaten in the Champions League by RB Liepzig.

Spurs were convincingly beaten 1-0 at their home ground by the Bundesliga leaders in their last 16 Champions League first leg match.

Mourinho refused to answer a reporter’s question as he claimed that it was ‘out or order’ to suggest that his team did not play well.

The reporter asked: "On the day, was it Spurs that were bad or was Liepzig that were good"?

Mourinho responded: "You think we were bad?"

Reporter said again: "Well the results said you lost at home?"

Mourinho: "Okay, I'm not going to answer you. Because I don't like your question. I think your question is out of order," he stood up, walked out and said 'great question mate'.

Spurs were practically defending for their lives in most part of the game as Hugo Lloris brilliance was also key to not conceding more than one goal.

But the north London club finally let in a goal after Timo Werner converted a spot-kick that eventually became the match-winner in the 58th minute.

Tottenham tried to get themselves back into the game in the last 20 minutes but could not break the defence of the German side were rock solid all night.
