Overview
- UEFA confirmed disciplinary proceedings for unsporting behavior after Pedro Neto’s late-game shove of a PSG ball boy in Paris.
- The incident sparked a brief melee with players and officials stepping in, and medical staff checked on the boy before play resumed.
- Neto apologized publicly, said he sought out the boy after full time, and gave him his shirt.
- PSG won the round-of-16 first leg 5-2 at the Parc des Princes, with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia scoring twice and Bradley Barcola, Ousmane Dembele, and Vitinha also on target, while Malo Gusto and Enzo Fernandez scored for Chelsea.
- Any UEFA ban could rule Neto out of the second leg on March 17, complicating Chelsea’s effort to overturn a three-goal deficit at home.
