Chelsea star, Pedro Neto has said the Paris Saint-Germain ball boy apologised to him at least 35 times after their Champions League defeat to the French champions.

Paris Saint-Germain played Chelsea at the Parc des Princes in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Round of 16.

Neto said that he expressed regret after pushing the ball boy during the 5-2 loss.

Neto faced criticism and backlash from PSG players after he caused the ball boy to fall towards the advertising boards. The ball was out of play in the final moments of the match, and Neto attempted to retrieve it quickly.

The ball boy had already collected the ball and was waiting for the player to take it. Instead, the Portuguese player became physical with the young boy.

In a post-match interview, Neto acknowledged his errors and expressed that he was ‘truly sorry’.

“I want to come forward and address the incident that occurred on the pitch; I wish to apologise to the ball boy,” he told TNT Sports.

“I had already spoken with him; the emotions of the game, with us trailing, made me eager to retrieve the ball, and I gave him a slight push. I realised that I had hurt him and immediately apologised; that is not my character. I gave him my shirt because such behaviour is unacceptable, so I am genuinely, truly sorry.”

Neto also presented the ball boy with his jersey and mentioned that the boy apologised to him 35 times.

“I also gave him my shirt,” Neto remarked. “He was pleased to receive the shirt and apologised approximately 35 times.”

Former Arsenal star, Paul Merson, has mentioned three players that should lead the Gunners’ attack when they face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final.

Both teams will clash in the Champions League final in Budapest on Saturday evening.

However, in his column for Sportskeeda, Merson wants the likes of Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard to lead Arsenal’s attack against Luis Enrique’s side.

“I expect Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard to lead the Arsenal attack in this game,” Merson said.

“I like Trossard. He plays in all the big games because he’s such a reliable and good footballer. But I don’t expect Arsenal to open PSG up with this trio. Their real chance is through set-pieces,” he said.

PSG and Arsenal head to the game after eliminating Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid, respectively, in the semi-final earlier this month.

Arsenal legend, Paul Merson, has told Paris Saint-Germain how to beat Arsenal when both teams clash in the Champions League final on Saturday.

Arsenal will take on PSG in the Champions League final on Saturday night in Budapest.

However, in his column for Sportskeeda, Merson disclosed that if the Parisians want to win Mikel Arteta’s side, they must not allow the Gunners to score the first goal in the encounter.

“If PSG want to win this final, they cannot afford to let Arsenal score the first goal,” Merson said.

“We know how difficult Arsenal can be to break down. Even PSG can play defensive like they did against Bayern in the second leg, but their front-three is just superior to Arsenal.

“Even if Arsenal try, they cannot match PSG’s attack,” he said.

Former Eric Djemba-Djemba has asserted that Cristiano Ronaldo has the potential to participate in the 2030 World Cup.

The Cameroonian emphasized the Portugal captain’s relentless pursuit of self-improvement.

“It would be the ideal conclusion,” the former Manchester United midfielder said as he backed Ronaldo’s ambition to continue playing until the 2030 FIFA World Cup.

Djemba-Djemba believes that if his former teammate chooses not to retire by 2030, Portugal should certainly include him in their World Cup squad.

He stated on BetVictor via GOAL, “He is driven by a desire to enhance his skills and to compete. I have never encountered a mentality quite like his. If he is still active when the 2030 World Cup takes place in Portugal, I firmly believe he should be included in the team.”

Djemba-Djemba further remarked that it would represent the perfect conclusion to Ronaldo’s career if he were to play in the 2030 World Cup alongside his son before retiring from professional football.

“It would be the perfect finale to his career and a remarkable moment for Portuguese football. And just think if Cristiano Jr. is also present. That would be extraordinary.”

Ronaldo holds the record as the top goalscorer in international men’s football, with 143 goals to his credit.
