It hasn't been the first time a press conference has been interrupted by an untimely phone call, but it surely was one of the most hilarious caught on video.
Speaking in his pre-match presser, Chelsea boss Antonio Conte found himself in a tight spot when he was answering a question regarding Marcos Alonso's PFA Team of the Year nomination. As he prepared to answer, he received a phone call from his wife, which caught him off guard and even blushed him a bit.
Have a look at the hilarious moment.
'Always in the wrong moment!'

Conte urges players to fight for Champions League spot
About his team's chances of earning a spot in next year's UEFA Champions League, Conte admitted that things are not looking good for them, considering Tottenham's current lead over them. Nevertheless, Chelsea's players have to do whatever's necessary to reach that goal with five games left.
" We have to try until the end to reach this target. If we want to be realistic with five games to go, it's not simple to reduce the gap, but we must have the will to fight, the desire to take this target. Why not?" Conte stated.
Chelsea will face Burnley on Thursday, a team that's also fighting to earn a spot in a European tournament next season.
