Arteta Fires Back at Porto Coach's 'Strong Words' on Arsenal
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has hit back at Porto head coach Sergio Conceicao’s assessment of the Gunners’ mentality in their recent Champions League clash, labeling the Portuguese tactician’s remarks as “strong words.”
The war of words erupted after Arsenal’s 1-0 defeat to Porto in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie last month. Galeno’s late strike proved to be the difference on the night, but it was the post-match comments from both managers that garnered even more attention.
