The London Chelsea club lost to PSG in the Champions League match with a score of 2:5.

In this match, an unpleasant incident occurred when the "aristocrats" team's fullback Pedro Neto pushed a ball boy who was delivering the balls.

The Portuguese apologized for this act to the sports publication "TNT Sports" and stated that he gave him his jersey:

"I want to apologize to the ball boy. I have already spoken with him.

We were losing and in the heat of the moment, I wanted to get the ball as quickly as possible, so I pushed him a little."

"I am not that kind of person. It was in the heat of the game. I gave him my jersey. I sincerely apologize for that - I feel that I need to apologize."

The return match between these teams will take place next Tuesday in London.

Before that, the "aristocrats" will meet Newcastle United in the Champions League on Saturday.
