Diego Costa

Let's just hope he comes through this one unblemished. He's starting.

Come on Atletico, hope to see a big game from Costa and Courtois.

Subbed after 9 mins. Why did Atletico even bother?

Imagine this is a start of a Torres meltdown for Costa, that would be pretty fucked up. I hope nothing serious.

[Milan 17,955]

It's a Champions League final, I can understand he wanted to play and Atletico were willing to risk it. Hopefully, it didn't get any worse and he will be fine.

[MrExcalibur100 7,124]

Very poor management if you ask me. Risking a player like that just to play one game when he has his entire career ahead of him. At least now he can recover fully before the world cup.

Or not, WC is like 2-3 weeks away. If he isn't careful it could turn into a 2 months lay off

hamstrings are unlikely to be long term. but if you dont give them time to recover , they will keep niggling.

[Milan 17,955]

The thing is, this is not just one game. This is the biggest occasion in the club football.

Grade 1 hamstrings mean 2 weeks, 3 weeks max.

I'm sure they charged him a shit ton of money for it too.

[zolayes 14,489]

tough for him as he will probably miss WC perhaps not bad for us

That's it, Costa season finished. What a shame. Agree, that is not the most clever thing to do. I understand the physiological effect from Costa presence, but that a huge gambling by Simeone, how if the game goes until extra time, surely that's a massive disadvantage with only 2 subs.

His season is finished today regardless of being injured or not
