Pedro Neto faces UEFA investigation after escaping red card for PUSHING PSG ball boy to the floor

UEFA has opened disciplinary proceedings against Pedro Neto after his ball-boy altercation towards the end of Chelsea’s Champions League loss to Paris Saint-Germain.

With the Blues 4-2 down in injury time, the ball bounced out of play, and Neto attempted to retrieve a fresh one off a ball boy at the side of the Parc des Princes pitch.

However, the ball boy hesitated and refused to give the ball immediately to Neto, before he seemed to motion to throw it away.

Neto took issue with this in his desperation to get the ball back, and instead pushed over the ball boy, who was left writhing around on the floor in pain.

The winger's actions created a scuffle on the touchline as both sets of players took issue with each other.

Neto's actions were subsequently reviewed by VAR, but they decided not to intervene.
