Porto manager Sergio Conceicao, 49, alleged that Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta, 41, insulted his family during Arsenal’s penalty shootout victory over Porto in their Champions League last-16 tie on Tuesday.
Arsenal secured a 4-2 win on penalties after the match ended in a 1-1 draw on aggregate, advancing to the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time since 2010.
Tensions escalated at the Emirates Stadium, with both managers engaged in a heated exchange at the conclusion of the game.
Conceicao claimed, “During the game, he (Arteta) turned to the bench and, in Spanish, he insulted my family.” He further added, “At the end, I called over to get Arteta’s attention because the person he insulted is no longer with us.”
However, when questioned about the incident during his post-match press conference, Arteta chose to respond with “No comment.”
