Willian has since revealed he did not enjoy working under the Italian, despite the pair winning the Premier League together in 2017.
But he claims he was not responsible for the Instagram upload, and has laid the blame at the feet of his daughter.
Willian told ESPN: "My daughter was playing with my cell phone and she ended up putting those emojis over Conte.
"After the final I got a plane right after the game to come to Brazil. When I got here, early in the morning, I was posting some pictures of the champions and, well, I was a bit too tired and ended up posting them like that."

Reflecting on his time under Conte, Willian added: "I hope Sarri is not like Conte. For me, Conte was a manager who was very difficult to work with.
"His philosophy, his way of dealing with things is very complicated.
"There were a few games. Sometimes we just don't understand. You're playing very well, then you get subbed. I don't understand.
"There were two times when I got subbed and I went straight to the locker room. It was hard to work with him."
