De Bruyne had scored from the spot some 10 minutes earlier, but Conte still decided to replace him with more than 20 minutes still left to be played at San Siro.

The Belgian left the pitch running, not to lose any time, but didn’t shake hands with Conte after the substitution, heading straight to the bench.
