"He's a fantastic player, he has apologised for the incident and I think UEFA have made the right decision. Neto will likely have a role to play as Chelsea seek a historic comeback against PSG."
"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. At the end he laughed and I gave him my shirt and said sorry about 35 times."
Chelsea forward Pedro Neto will be available for the second leg of their Champions League last-16 tie against Paris Saint-Germain after UEFA decided against imposing a ban. Neto pushed a ballboy during the first leg, which Chelsea lost 5-2 at the Parc des Princes. UEFA opened disciplinary proceedings for unsporting behaviour but ultimately issued only a warning. Head coach Liam Rosenior welcomed the decision, praising Neto as a fantastic player who has apologized for the incident. Neto expressed immediate remorse after the match, explaining the push occurred in the heat of the moment and subsequently gave his shirt to the ballboy as an apology.
