As he headed off the Selhurst Park pitch, Renan Lodi turned and gave one last wave to the Nottingham Forest fans.
He had already donated most of his kit to supporters in the crowd and had spent an extra moment in front of the away end, as well as being on the receiving end of a hug from owner Evangelos Marinakis. A final farewell?
The Instagram message the Brazilian went on to post afterwards certainly hinted as such. Lodi talked about it being his “last game with this special club”.
