Tempers flared in extra-time in Moscow when Tevez opted against giving the ball to Petr Cech by kicking the ball out for a throw-in after they had intentionally kicked the ball out of play.

Despite Chelsea using the same tactic twice themselves during the game a handful of players, including Terry, confronted the Argentina international about his behaviour.

A confrontation occurred that resulted in Didier Drogba slapping Nemanja Vidic in the face, which saw the Ivory Coast striker sent from the field.

Terry admits to some brief argy-bargy, but he strenuously denies any untoward behaviour towards Tevez.

"There was some pushing and shoving, I admit that," he told The Sun. "But no spitting, that is not my style.

"No way would I spit at another player."
