FC Porto coach Sergio Conceicao reacts during match against Arsenal. - Reuters Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta insulted his family during the Premier League side’s penalty shootout victory against Porto in their Champions League last-16 clash on Tuesday, according to Portuguese side’s boss Sergio Conceicao. Arsenal advanced 4-2 on penalties following a 1-1 draw on aggregate, qualifying for the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time in 14 years. Both managers were spotted having a heated conversation at the end of the game."During the game he [Arteta] turned to the bench and in Spanish, he insulted my family," Conceicao told reporters."At the end I called over to get Arteta's attention, because the person he insulted is no longer with us."When asked about the incident in his post-match press conference Arteta said: "No comment".It must be noted that goalkeeper David Raya stole the limelight as Arsenal edged Porto.Porto, who bagged victory in the opening leg 1-0, once again looked solid in defense against the Premier League leaders but Leandro Trossard's goal shortly before the end of the first half ensured extra-time — which failed to separate the two sides. Martin Odegaard, Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice converted their penalties with Raya making two saves."A great moment personally and collectively. I'm over the moon to save two penalties in the Champions League to get through to the quarter-finals," Raya said.Arsenal’s win managed to break a run of seven successive exits at the last-16 stage. The last time they qualified for the quarter-finals in 2010, they also defeated Porto in the last 16."For them to do it when the club hasn't done it for 14 years that tells you the difficulty," Arteta told reporters. "They are willing to sacrifice anything to win.”The draw for the next round will take place on Friday.  Comments Submit مضمون کا ماخذ: اسکریچ کارڈز خریدیں
