Antonio Conte and Thomas Tuchel almost came to blows this Sunday at Stamford Bridge. After Höjbjerg’s goal in the 68th minute, Tottenham’s Italian coach celebrated the equalizer in a very demonstrative way. He went so far as to approach the Chelsea bench and clearly chambered his counterpart. The German didn’t like it at all and the two men had to be separated to avoid a fight.
At the end of the match, concluded with a parity score (2-2), the two men exchanged a very tense handshake. It was again necessary to separate them, while players and staff also began to berate each other. Antonio Conte and Thomas Tuchel both received a red card.
