As reported by Gazzetta, the Brazilian repeatedly touched his right thigh before being forced to be subbed off.
Bremer even left the field for a few minutes to get his thigh massaged by doctors, but Juventus were one goal down, so he refused to leave the field.
Teun Koopmeiners, however, scored twice in a few minutes, and Bremer surrendered just after the Dutchman’s second goal.
