Bernardo Silva sat with an ice pack around one ankle while explaining one of the transitions from the second half to Reijnders using exaggerated hand gestures.
Rodri looked exhausted but satisfied.
Haaland, meanwhile, kept replaying the missed header off the crossbar on a tablet while shaking his head dramatically every few seconds.
"I still don't understand how I missed this," he muttered.
"You hit the bar," Akanji replied. "You didn't miss."
"That is missing."
"But you still got your goal in the end, though," Doku added.
Across the room, Lukas sat quietly at his locker, still processing everything.
His debut.
The comeback.
The goal.
The roar of the crowd after the ball hit the net.
It still didn't fully feel real yet.
Then the dressing room door opened again.
Pep Lijnders stepped inside first.
"Relax, relax," he said immediately as a few players looked up. "Boss is bringing somebody."
That got reactions instantly.
"Who?" Doku asked.
