On X (formerly Twitter), the comedian revealed that he signed a football from the Portuguese team, which has Cristiano Ronaldo's number 7 and left it hidden somewhere in the city. And he even left some tips to make finding it easier.

"I didn't want to leave a stuffed animal out in the rain, so I autographed a football that I'm now going to hide in Lisbon for someone to find and keep," wrote Gervais.
In the second publication, Gervais published a set of photographs to help Lisbon residents find the ball more easily.

Later on 29 October, a post of a fan @tedmaddocks_ was pictured with the ball that he successfully found.
