Arsenal beat Porto on penalties at the Emirates Stadium to advance to the quarter-finals, and the two managers had a lengthy exchange after the game in which Conceicao seemed to admonish Arteta, pointing his finger at the Spaniard as he made his point. Arteta responded by shaking his head as he walked away.

바카라œDuring the game, (Arteta) turned to the bench and in Spanish 바카라” it must be a Spanish coach thing because it was the same thing with (Pep) Guardiola 바카라” he insulted my family,바카라 Conceicao said in Portuguese after the game. 바카라œIn the end I told him to pay attention because who he insulted is no longer with us, and to worry about coaching his team, because due to individual quality he has an obligation to do more and better.바카라

When asked about the exchange with Conceicao in his post-game news conference, Arteta only said 바카라œno comment바카라 before leaving the podium.

Conceicao has made similar claims about other managers.

After a group-stage loss to Manchester City in 2020, he said Pep Guardiola 바카라œspoke about our country using ugly words바카라 and that 바카라œGuardiola바카라™s attitude was extremely unpleasant.바카라

After Porto lost to Chelsea in the 2021 Champions League quarterfinals, he also said then-Blues coach Thomas Tuchel 바카라œinsulted바카라 him during the game.
