"Players make mistakes, Rosenior said. Filip's not the first one and that's part of football. Credit to him, he held his hands up in the dressing room. I make mistakes. Everybody makes mistakes. Sometimes they're more costly. This is one of those moments. What we have to do for Rob and for Filip and for all of the players is look after each other."
"I want to apologise to the ballboy, Neto said. I have already spoken with him. With the emotions of the game, we were losing, I wanted to pick up the ball, he was getting the ball, I gave him a little push. I'm not like this. It was in the heat of the moment. I gave him my shirt as well. I'm really, really sorry."
"If there was anything from our side that was wrong or out of order, I apologise on behalf of the club, he said. We've spoken a lot about discipline, staying calm in the moment. It's on me to find the answer."
Chelsea lost 5-2 to PSG in their Champions League last 16 first leg, with the match turning decisively after Filip Jorgensen's passing error was intercepted by Bradley Barcola, leading to Vitinha's goal. Manager Liam Rosenior defended his decision to start Jorgensen over Robert Sanchez, acknowledging that mistakes are part of football while emphasizing the need for character and support. Chelsea's discipline deteriorated following Vitinha's goal, with Kvaratskhelia scoring twice late on. Pedro Neto faced scrutiny for shoving a ballboy and apologized for his actions, while Enzo Fernandez also showed frustration toward Jorgensen. Rosenior took responsibility for maintaining discipline, with the second leg at Stamford Bridge presenting a significant challenge.
