talkSPORT football reporter Ian Abrahams spoke with Sarri after the game, and he asked the Italian: Im sorry to have to ask you this but, after what has happened today, do you still have the backing of your players in the dressing room?Sarri responded curtly: If you saw the players and the match, you have the answer.Im proud of my players today and Im disappointed for them. Im really, really happy with the performance because we conceded nothing against the best team in Europe To claims that his authority as manager was undermined by Kepas actions, Sarri said: You can remain with your opinion, of course, but I told you the truth. It was a really a big misunderstanding.But I want to speak to him – he was right for the reason [to remain on the pitch], but he was wrong for the conduct.Few are likely to truly believe the Blues boss explanation, especially given his explosive reaction on the touchline.Sarri was quite clearly absolutely fuming with the goalkeeper, and at one point appeared to consider leaving the pitch down the tunnel, before deciding to turn around and stomp his way back to the dugout.Sarri threatened to go down the tunnel, but decided better of it and eventually returned to his seat3
