"I want to apologize to the ball boy," Neto stated. "We were losing and in the emotion of the game I wanted to get the ball fast and I gave him a little push. I'm not like this. It was in the heat of the moment and I want to apologize. I gave him my shirt. I'm really sorry about it."
Head coach Liam Rosenior also offered an apology on behalf of the club for any misbehavior. Paris Saint-Germain secured a significant advantage in the tie with late goals.
