UEFA Investigates Chelsea's Pedro Neto for Unsportsmanlike Conduct
UEFA has initiated disciplinary proceedings against Chelsea's Pedro Neto due to an incident that occurred during the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 first leg against Paris Saint-Germain, where Chelsea lost 4-2. During the match, Neto attempted to restart play quickly by throwing the ball to a teammate, but the ball boy did not return it promptly.
Neto immediately apologized to the referee for his actions, which did not result in a card during the match. Despite the absence of a field sanction, UEFA has decided to review the incident further.
The European football governing body confirmed that the proceedings against Neto are due to unsportsmanlike conduct. As a result, Neto risks suspension and could miss the return leg at Stamford Bridge scheduled for the following week.
