In a press conference, Jorge Jesus explained the reasons behind this late substitution:

"I was actually considering not letting him play. He wasn’t feeling well, suffering from stomach pains and general fatigue, and when I took him off, he went straight to the dressing room and vomited."

An episode that speaks volumes about the physical state of the five-time Ballon d'Or winner, who gritted his teeth before finally giving in. It’s not a serious warning, but a stark reminder of the demands at the very top level.
