Sergio Conceicao reveals insult Mikel Arteta after Arsenal beat Porto

Arsenal advances in Champions League after penalty shootout win, clash between managers erupts over alleged family insult during match.

Arsenal has solidified their spot in the upcoming Champions League quarter-final draw after a tense second-leg match at the Emirates Stadium that went into a penalty shootout to determine the winner.

David Raya emerged as Arsenal's savior by saving two penalties, with Martin Odegaard, Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka, and Declan Rice successfully converting their spot-kicks to secure a 4-2 victory over Porto in the shootout.

Following Arsenal's triumph, there was a brief altercation between Conceicao and Arteta on the pitch, which led to them being separated as Porto's players acknowledged their fans before heading off the field.

Conceicao has since claimed that during the game, Arteta insulted one of his deceased family members. When questioned about the incident, Conceicao stated, 'That's not important, what Arteta says or doesn't say. During the game, he directed an insult towards my family. I reminded him to be mindful because the person he insulted is no longer with us, and advised him to focus on coaching his team.'

In response, Arteta delivered a peculiar comment when asked about the altercation with Conceicao, saying, 'Yeah, really, really happy obviously. We want more, let's wait [to see] who do we have to play again and no comment.'

This victory for Arsenal not only secures their spot in the quarter-finals but also has implications for the Premier League coefficient and the potential of an extra Champions League spot. Additionally, Chelsea stands to receive £4m from Fulham due to the loan terms of Armando Broja.
