Neto, from Chelsea, Accused by UEFA: Push to Ball Boy in Champions League

Chelsea’s Pedro Neto Faces Sanction for Champions League Match Incident

Chelsea winger Pedro Neto has been charged by UEFA following an incident in the Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain. The accusation is due to an altercation with a ball boy during the match. UEFA has described the action as “unsportsmanlike conduct”, which could result in a suspension for the player. The governing body of European football will announce the disciplinary decision “in due course”. Chelsea is at a disadvantage in the tie, after losing the first leg with a score of 5-2.

In the image, Chelsea’s Pedro Neto apologizes to the Paris Saint-Germain ball boy. The incident occurred in the final minutes of the match, when Chelsea was losing 4-2. Neto pushed the ball boy for apparently holding the ball. Subsequently, the player apologized to the young man and gave him his jersey.

With the emotions of the game, we were losing, I wanted to pick up the ball. I gave him a little push. I saw that I hurt him and I’m sorry, I’m not like that.
