WILLIAN was slammed for his “classless” dig at Antonio Conte following Chelsea’s FA Cup final win.
Eden Hazard’s first-half penalty sealed a 1-0 win over Manchester United at Wembley.
But it was while uploading photos of the celebrations to his Instagram page that the Brazilian attacker looked to fire shots at his boss.
Showing a photo with the squad and staff celebrating, Conte is covered up by three trophy emojis.
No other member of staff or player is covered and three more trophy emojis appear on the picture.
It would appear Willian placed the emoji on there himself because they have to be manually added.

Conte is widely expected to leave Stamford Bridge this summer but warned the club they will be sacking a “serial winner”.
He said: “In a difficult season like this I showed I’m a serial winner. This is the truth. To win in this way, this season, gives me more satisfaction than my win from the past.”
Some fans blasted Willian.
One said: “Disrespectful to the extreme.”

A fellow user tweeted: “Complete lack of class.”
One added: “I was a fan of him but this is too far.”
Conte, who is on about £9million per year, has challenged Chelsea chairman Roman Abramovich to sack him after two seasons of winning trophies.
He added: “I have a contract and I’m committed for this club.
“Don’t forget the speculation started after our first defeat against Burnley.
“My position was always the same — I’m committed to this club, despite a lot of speculation.
“One day I had the chance to go to the national team, one day this team, one day another important team . . .
“In every press conference I said that I’m committed to this club.
“After two years, the club knows me very well.
“My past speaks very clearly as a player and as a manager. You can say what you want, but I’m a serial winner.”
