“10 players of Juventus asked for substitutions. The exhaustion was incredible. The intensity of such a match just drains your energy. Then there is this heat, which really affects you, and thirdly, what complements these conditions — is playing in such humidity,” BBC Sport quotes Tudor.

Additionally, the teams played in hot and humid conditions in Miami, with temperatures reaching 30°C and humidity at 70%.
