Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea faced each other this Wednesday at the Parc des Princes as part of the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16 2025-2026 (second leg on March 17). The match, which ended in a Parisian victory 5-2 (video highlights PSG/Chelsea), was marked by the fact that Pedro Neto (26-year-old winger for the Blues) pushed a ball boy whom he considered too slow. The referee did not issue a card, but UEFA has decided to open an investigation.
UEFA announced, in a statement, the opening of proceedings against Pedro Neto regarding the incident with the ball boy. According to UEFA regulations, for "unsporting conduct" he risks "1 match or more" of suspension.
It was rather surprising that the referee did not impose a sanction on the spot, as is the case for certain fouls, but this situation will be examined by UEFA and Neto therefore risks being suspended, possibly as early as the second leg. The Portuguese player apologized to the media, but that may not be enough after such a very poor gesture. We will have to wait to know the outcome of the proceedings.
