'Em condições normais' ('under normal conditions') is one of those phrases: clipped from a spoken interview moment, it now circulates as a standalone meme audio among Portuguese-speaking football fans. Shared in chats, edits and reaction videos, it is used ironically whenever results defy logic, a manager makes excuses, or a match takes an absurd turn.
