Neto apologised to the ball boy after the game and he was not punished by the match referee, as did Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior who said after the game: “If there was anything from our side that was wrong or out of order, I apologise on behalf of the club.”

However, Neto could be punished by UEFA, who have opened proceedings against the Portugal forward for “unsporting behaviour”.
