Overview
- UEFA confirmed proceedings for unsporting behaviour after Neto shoved a ball boy late in Chelsea’s 5-2 first‑leg defeat at PSG.
- The touchline incident in stoppage time prompted a melee involving players and staff from both teams at the Parc des Princes.
- Referee Alejandro Hernández did not book Neto on the night and VAR did not intervene to issue a red card.
- Neto apologised publicly, said he told the boy sorry “about 35 times,” and handed over his shirt, with manager Liam Rosenior also offering a club apology.
- The charge falls under Article 15, with potential outcomes from a warning or fine to a one‑match ban that may affect the Stamford Bridge second leg; Neto has 10 goals in 42 appearances this season.
