"We were losing and in the emotion of the game I wanted to get the ball fast and I gave him a little push. I'm not like this. It was in the heat of the moment and I want to apologise. I gave him my shirt. I'm really sorry about it I feel I have to apologise to him."
"Disciplinary proceedings have been instigated against Pedro Neto for unsporting behaviour, a Uefa statement said. Uefa's disciplinary bodies will take a decision on this case in due course."
Pedro Neto faces UEFA disciplinary action for unsporting behaviour after pushing a ballboy during Chelsea's 5-2 Champions League loss to Paris Saint-Germain. The incident occurred late in the match when Chelsea trailed 4-2, as Neto rushed to retrieve the ball. The push triggered a mass altercation between players from both teams. Neto subsequently apologized, stating he acted in the heat of the moment and gave the ballboy his shirt. Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior also apologized on behalf of the club. Neto, who has scored 10 goals in 42 games this season, faces potential suspension for Tuesday's second leg.
