Speaking to Portuguese media after full-time, Conceicao sarcastically suggested he had plenty to learn from his City counterpart.
"I’ve got a lot to learn from Pep Guardiola, in the way he pressures referees, talks to opposition players and opposition dugout," the Porto coach is quoted as saying by The Telegraph. "He’s a fantastic example. I have to learn this. We were angels compared to the other dugout.
"He spoke about our country using ugly words. Guardiola’s attitude was extremely unpleasant. The whole Manchester City dugout was because if anybody should have been complaining, it was the Porto bench, because we were extremely hard done by."
Conceicao continued to criticise the performance of referee Andris Treimanis, adding that his display was far below the standards set by Portuguese officials.
"I have to apologise to the referees in Portugal, because I complain when I think we are wronged, but comparing the officials of this game and those upstairs in the VAR, international referees have a lot to learn from ours,” he said.Explore more on these topics:
