JOSE MOURINHO was in the crowd to scout Champions League opponents RB Leipzig as they took on Bayern Munich.

But not boss Mourinho, 57, who is hoping for a big victory against Julian Nagelsmann’s side in the last-16 of Europe’s premier competition.

And he would have witnessed an impressive RB Leipzig side, who have been giving serial Bundesliga winners Bayern a serious run for their money in Germany’s top tier.
Going into the game, Leipzig were just a point behind Hans-Dieter Flick’s side and a win would see them leapfrog the defending champions.
But Mourinho seemed more concerned about making sure he kept an eye on Leipzig, who Spurs face in 10 days’ time in North London.
