Bayern hosted Leipzig in a top-of-the-Bundesliga clash at the Allianz Arena, and Mourinho was a notable observer in the stands.
The match finished in a goalless draw with both sides missing guilt-edged chances to take all three points.
Next week, attention will turn to the Champions League where Mourinho’s Tottenham will face Julian Nagelsmann at home in the first leg.
Leipzig have a number of players who have been linked with the Premier League in Timo Werner, Emil Forsberg and Dayot Upamecano.
And speaking in an interview with Sky Sports, Mourinho said the aim of his trip to Munich was to spot things he may not see on TV or video clips.
“It’s very important. I can see small details. Even the warm-ups,” Mourinho said.

“I can see what TV and video don’t give me. To see the warm-ups and to see what the players do individually,” he said.
“Some skills that sometimes during the game are hidden. It’s a different intensity. It’s a different experience. I couldn’t miss the opportunity.”
Spurs are currently on their winter break and return to action on Sunday with a trip to relegation-threatened Aston Villa.
Mourinho’s men are four points off fourth-placed Chelsea, and the Portuguese coach says he hopes his players return rejuvenated for a busy final third of the season.
He said: “The players needed some days off. For their body and soul they needed a rest. But not for me.
“I think the best way to try and help the team is to work.
