Porto manager Sergio Conceicao accused Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta of humiliating his family during the Champions League last-16 tie at the Emirates.
Arsenal figures have strongly denied that Arteta insulted Conceicao’s family, as Idman.biz reports.
Managers were seen having words after the penalty shoot-out, which Arteta’s side won 4-2 after the last 16 tie had ended 1-1 on aggregate.
Conceicao spoke about the incident in Portuguese: “During the game and towards the bench he, in Spanish, insulted my family.
And then at the end, I said attention, who he insults is not between us. He should focus on training his team because they have a lot of individual qualities to do that.”
