Jose Mourinho hopes Tottenham get another chance to face Bayern Munich in a proper match in the Champions League.
The Bundesliga giants recorded a 3-1 win over Spurs in Munich on Wednesday to wrap up a perfect campaign in Group B.
It came just over two months after Bayern thrashed Tottenham 7-2 in London, but Spurs head coach Mourinho would welcome another meeting with the German outfit.
My wish is to [come] back and if we come back it has to be for the quarter-final or semi-final because we cannot play Bayern in the next round, he told a news conference.
My wish is to be back here for a proper match, a match that we would all like.
FULL-TIME: It s defeat in Munich in our final group game. We finish second in Group B.
3-1

Mourinho, who took over at Spurs last month, said he had tried to avoid discussing the 7-2 humbling with his players.
I tried to ignore what happened in the first match. I tried to hide it from the players, he said.
I didn t show any image of that. I didn t analyse with the players anything from that match, but it was important for us to come here and get out with a result, with the minimum of dignity.
