‘He insulted my family, and I will not take it from anyone, since they have won now, and he is now full of himself’: Porto manager Sergio Conceicao says he will charge Arteta in court for what happened yesterday.
Following Arsenal’s thrilling penalty shootout victory over Porto in the Champions League last-16 encounter, Porto’s manager Sergio Conceicao has accused Arsenal’s head coach Mikel Arteta of making offensive remarks about his family during the tense showdown at the Emirates Stadium.
The highly anticipated match ended in a 1-1 draw on aggregate, with Arsenal clinching a 4-2 victory in penalties, marking their return to the Champions League quarter-finals after more than a decade.
With emotions running high throughout the gripping contest, tensions escalated, leading to a heated confrontation between the two managers following the final whistle.
Conceicao alleges that Arteta, in the heat of the moment, directed insulting comments about his family in Spanish, provoking a strong reaction from the Porto coach. In response to Arteta’s purported remarks, Conceicao expressed his shock, highlighting the seriousness of the situation by revealing that the person targeted by Arteta is deceased.
When questioned about the incident during his post-match press conference, Arteta chose to remain tight-lipped, simply stating “No comment,” thus declining to address the accusations made against him.
