"I want to come out and say the situation that happened on the pitch, I want to apologise to the ball boy. I already spoke with him, the emotions of the game with us losing, I want to pick up the ball and I gave him a little push. I saw that I hurt him and straight away I apologised, I am not like this. I gave him my shirt because that cannot happen so I am really, really sorry."
"It was the heat of the moment. I want to apologise. The emotions of the game with us losing, I want to pick up the ball and I gave him a little push. I saw that I hurt him and straight away I apologised, I am not like this."
During Chelsea's 5-2 loss to Paris Saint-Germain, winger Pedro Neto pushed over a ball boy while attempting to retrieve the ball late in the match. Neto immediately apologized to the ball boy and gave him his shirt as a gesture of remorse. The Portuguese player explained the incident was a momentary loss of control driven by the emotions of the game and the team's defeat. Manager Liam Rosenior also commented on the situation, noting he did not witness it directly. This incident reflects Chelsea's broader disciplinary concerns this season, with the club having received nine red cards to date.
