<p>It was a tough affair between <strong>FC Porto and Chelsea in the quarterfinals of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/champions-league-t24" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UEFA Champions League</a>.</strong> Both teams were deadlocked at 0-0 until Iranian forward Mehdi Taremi scored a stoppage time goal to give Porto a 1-0 victory, that did not prove enough as Chelsea went through to the Champions League semifinals with a 2-1 aggregate score line after two legs.</p>
<p>Christian Pulisic put in a man of the match performance for <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/chelsea-t200" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chelsea</a> who were out possessed 54% to 46% by the Portuguese side. </strong>On top of that, Porto had to play their home leg in Sevilla, Spain due to coronavirus pandemic protocols in Portugal.</p>
<p>When the match ended Thomas Tuchel tried to fist bump Sergio Conceicao, with the<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/porto-t110856" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Porto</a> coach reluctantly agreeing to the greeting. <strong>Then a few words were exchanged between the two managers and later in the mixed zone Conceicao claimed that Tuchel had insulted him.</strong></p>
<h2>What did Thomas Tuchel say to Sergio Conceicao?</h2>

<p>During the post-match interviews Conceicao pointed to Tuchel who was also in the mixed zone and told reporters, <em>“I was insulted by this man that is here beside me, I told the referee that the fourth official heard those insults. That’s all.”</em></p>
<p>When asked about what was said to him by reporters Conceicao stated, <em>“It’s no use talking about it. My English is not perfect. There was no exchange of words, I was worried and focused on the game. I didn’t understand the reason for the reaction. I heard some insults, it’s not pretty, but that is over.”</em></p>
<p>During the match both coaches were heavily animated, with Tuchel protesting to the fourth official after an elbow by Porto’s Pepe to Kai Havertz. Conceicao also protested a foul during the match by Cesar Azpilicueta on Otavio.</p>

<p>American <strong>Christian Pulisic</strong> was fouled a record 11 times during the match, the most by any player in the Champions League since Lionel Messi played against Real Madrid for Barcelona back in 2011.</p>
<p>Thomas Tuchel on the other hand stated, <em>“It was just a little argument between me and the coach (Conceicao)… then everybody was following me suddenly; I thought it was between me and the coach, but obviously it was not. No harm done.”</em></p>
