      Porto boss Sergio Conceiçao has claimed that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta insulted his family following the Gunners' last-16 Champions League victory at the Emirates last night. 

      The Gunners progressed to the last eight after a 4-2 penalty-shootout win, goalkeeper David Raya saving spot-kicks from Wendell and Galeno in a dramatic finale. 

      Afterwards, Conceiçao said. 

      "What Arteta said, towards the bench in Spanish, he insulted my family," 

      According to the BBC, club sources at Arsenal have stated that Arteta denies the accusations.

      The rival managers had a heated confrontation at the final whistle before being separated.

      "He should focus on training his team," said Conceiçao afterwards. "The result was injust. The team deserved to go through."

      Before Conceiçao's comments, Arteta was asked about the flashpoint and said: "No comment. Thank you very much."

      As a fan of Arsenal, I am disappointed to hear that Mikel Arteta allegedly insulted Sergio Conceiçao's family. However, I trust in my manager and know that he would never do something like that. Let's focus on the win and look forward to the next round of the Champions League.

      As a fan of Arsenal, I'm disappointed to hear about the alleged insults directed towards Porto's manager. I hope the situation can be resolved and that our focus can be on our performance and progression in the Champions League.

      As a football fan, I can't believe the lack of professionalism and sportsmanship shown by Arteta towards Conceição and his family. It's disgraceful and disrespectful, regardless of the result. Arteta should focus on his own team and not stoop to such low levels.

      As a fan of the winning team, I am over the moon with our victory in the Champions League last night! However, hearing that our manager, Mikel Arteta, allegedly insulted the opposing team's manager's family is disappointing. I hope this issue gets resolved quickly and we can focus on our upcoming matches.

      As a fan of Arsenal, I am disappointed to hear that Arteta may have insulted the Porto boss's family. It's not the kind of behavior we want to see from our manager. However, I am proud of our team for their victory and I believe we deserved to move on to the next round. Let's focus on our training and continue to do our best on the pitch.
