‘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.
In the aftermath of Arsenal’s dramatic victory over Porto in the Champions League last-16 on Tuesday, tensions escalated between the two managers, Mikel Arteta and Sergio Conceicao. The highly anticipated clash ended in a 1-1 draw on aggregate, leading to Arsenal securing their spot in the Champions League quarter-finals through a 4-2 penalty shootout win.
As emotions ran high, a heated exchange unfolded between Arteta and Conceicao after the match. Conceicao accused Arteta of directing insulting remarks towards his family in Spanish during the intense encounter at the Emirates Stadium. Allegedly, Arteta’s comments prompted a strong reaction from the Porto manager, who expressed his dismay and highlighted the gravity of the situation by revealing that the individual insulted by Arteta is no longer alive.
When questioned about the incident during his post-match press conference, Arteta chose to provide a brief response, opting for a “No comment” stance and refraining from addressing the serious allegations made against him.
