Neto apologises for pushing over PSG ball boy

Pedro Neto has apologised for pushing over a ball boy during Chelsea's 5-2 defeat by Paris Stu2011Germain in the Champions League.

The 26-year-old was seen putting two hands on the young ball boy in stoppage time of the last-16 first-leg tie, causing him to fall on to a chair and sparking a mass altercation between both teams at Parc des Princes on Wednesday night.

Asked about the incident on TNT Sports after the game, Neto said: "I want to apologise to the ball boy. I have already spoken to him.

"We were losing and in the emotion of the game I wanted to get the ball fast and I gave him a little push.
