Jose Mourinho walked off the TNT Sports set following the Champions League final - and fans loved what he did immediately afterwards.
Mourinho was covering the final between Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid for the British broadcaster at Wembley.
Real won 2-0 through second half goals from Dani Carvajal and Vinicius Junior - the latter of whom scored his sixth Champions League goal of the campaign.
The result meant a 15th European Cup success for Los Blancos, and a record-extending sixth success for Carlo Ancelotti as a manager.

Mourinho watched on as Ancelotti and Real received their winners' medals before lifting the trophy, and as Dortmund received their runners-up medals.
And straight afterwards, the Portuguese boss produced the classiest gesture of the night in deciding to walk off the TNT Sports set.
He immediately walked straight towards Dortmund boss Edin Terzic, before embracing him in the centre of the Wembley turf.
Host Laura Woods brought up the moment on air, explaining: "We've lost Jose Mourinho, he's marched onto the pitch... I tell you what he's doing, he's going over to see Edin Terzic and I imagine consoling him. A really classy moment. A really classy moment between two managers."

And fans were in agreement with Woods on Twitter.
One wrote: "Jose Mourinho just walked 40 yards on to the pitch to hug and console Edin Terzic. It was a lovely touch."
A second said: "Rather than celebrating with his former club, the first thing he does is commiserate Edin Terzic. Class."
A third added: "Jose Mourinho and Edin Terzic, priceless."

A fourth said: "This is pure class from him, nice one Jose."
Mourinho, who is currently out of work, has agreed terms on a two-year deal to become the new manager of Turkish Super Lig side Fenerbahce.
Speaking before the final to Sky Sports, the former Chelsea, Real Madrid, Inter Milan and Manchester United boss confirmed that a deal had not been done yet - but an announcement is reportedly expected to be made in the coming days.
