Arsenal manager Arteta was compelled to seize the scorer by the midsection in the center of the Emirates field and guide him away.

Later, however, when Porto chief Sergio Conceicao accused his counterpart of “insulting my family” during the tie, tensions escalated once more.

Both managers were previously scheduled to protest second-half decisions during regular time, which resulted in a fruitless additional half-hour.

And the final outburst exemplified a night in which the Gunners qualified in a fiery fashion for the quarterfinals for the first time since 2010.

Trossard scored an outstanding goal on the 41st minute, which secured a 1-0 victory for Arsenal and a 1-1 aggregate stalemate.

David Raya then sank the combative Portuguese visitors with two crucial saves in the shootout.

And following player-on-player altercations, Conceicao uttered his astounding assertions.

The Portuguese manager, who reportedly conducted Arteta to the bench after the game and insulted his family in Spanish, stated: “Arteta turned to the sideline during the match.

“I informed him that the individual whom he disparaged is no longer present among us.”

“He should be preoccupied with training his team, which possesses an abundance of talent to perform considerably better.”

Arteta categorically denied insulting the Porto manager. However, he justified his turbulent moments, which occurred primarily with officials, as follows: “When so much is at stake, you must defend your team with every decision.

“You want every decision to go your way and that’s part of the game.”

And while contemplating a victory that made him “so proud,” he implied that an electric ambiance generated by the home crowd was the key factor.

The Spaniard stated, “We adore them; the vitality they provided got us through the entire game.” Simply put, they contributed to our victory.

Arteta was “ecstatic” to have made it to the round of eight and further stated, “It’s been fourteen years, which is a very long time for a club like Arsenal.”

In reference to Raya’s valor in the shootout, he further stated, “Today, we were forced to dig deep in order to discover the magical moment that we did.”

“It’s really difficult to play against them because they are a really competitive team, a really good side.”

Trossard, in fact, encapsulated Arsenal’s elation when he posted celebratory images of himself on X with the caption “QUARTERFINALS!!”
