Dodi Lukebakio’s rash reaction after being substituted in Benfica’s 4-1 win over Moreirense caused quite a stir, ending in a heated exchange with José Mourinho. Now, the winger has taken to social media to apologize for the incident when he arrived at the substitutes’ bench.

I wanted to sincerely apologize for my frustration in the last match. There is no excuse for it, and it is not typical of me. I am very demanding of myself and I let my emotions get the better of me,” he wrote in an Instagram story.

I have high expectations of myself and I always want to show the best version of myself. Thank you very much for the affection you have shown me since the beginning, and I will do everything I can to repay it on the pitch!” stressed the Belgium international.

However, it should be remembered that the Reds’ number 11 may have his days numbered at Benfica. Based on information reported by the national press, the Lisbon club was far from pleased with the footballer’s reaction when he left the pitch against Moreirense and reportedly issued a serious warning, which could be interpreted as an ultimatum, to the player.
