Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel and Porto coach Sergio Conceicao clashed at the end of last night's Champions League match.

Conceicao appeared to take issue with the German after the pair had fist-bumped at full-time, with Chelsea having secured their passage into the semi-finals.

Conceicao could be seen speaking to the fourth official, as well as his own players, who then took issue with Tuchel.

Defender Pepe could be seen confronting the Blues trainer, and the pair had to be seperated by one of the officials.

Record reports Tuchel telling Conceicao to "f*** off" was the catalyst for the ugly scenes at full-time.

Speaking after the game, Conceicao confirmed that he had been insulted, but refused to divulge what he had heard at the time.

"I was insulted by this man who is next door," he said. "I told the referee that the fourth referee heard the insults. My English is not perfect, there is no point in talking about it. There was no exchange of words because I was focused on the game, I don't know why he reacted.

"But I didn't understand it very well. I heard some insults, but it's gone ... it's not pretty and my irritation in the end had to do with it. I didn't even speak to him."

Chelsea are into the Champions League semifinals despite losing 1-0 last night.
