Roughly 70 minutes had elapsed in the Milan Derby and his team were hanging on to a 2-1 lead when Milan coach Stefano Pioli strode to the edge of the technical area and asked his center-forward how much longer he felt he could stay out on the pitch.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who had delivered both Milan goals during a three-minute period in the first half, raised his gaze towards the sideline, unfurled his fist and mouthed, "five minutes."
Pioli sent reserve striker Lorenzo Colombo to warm up. The 18-year-old was not born when Ibrahimovic scored his first international goal for Sweden, back in 2001.
