On the eve of the match, Chelsea received good news from UEFA headquarters: According to the verdict of the disciplinary committee, Chelsea’s 26-year-old right winger Pedro Neto will be eligible for tomorrow’s match, having received only a warning for pushing a ball boy in the first leg when the ball wasn’t returned quickly enough.
UEFA took into account that Pedro Neto made a public apology to the ball boy and gifted him his shirt, so the Portuguese winger avoided suspension.
The first leg ended with a convincing 5-2 win for the Parisians.
