#3 Diego Costa
Diego Costa was born in Brazil in October 1988. He was only called up once to the Brazilian national team when they were playing friendlies before the 2014 World Cup. Costa appeared in two friendlies against Italy and Russia respectively, coming off the bench in both.
He later swapped his national team for Spain as he had only appeared in friendlies but not in any official FIFA games for Brazil.
Costa revealed, "It was very difficult to choose between the country where you were born and the country that has given you everything."
"I looked at everything and saw that it was right and best to play for Spain because this is where I have done everything. All that I have in my life was given to me by this country."
"I have a special affection. Here I feel very appreciated for all that I do and I feel the love of the people."
He represented Spain's national team for the first time in February 2014. Since then, he has featured in 18 matches for Spain, scoring 7 times in the process.
Costa has also been selected for the upcoming World Cup by Julen Lopetegui ahead of Alvaro Morata. He is most likely to spearhead Spain's attack as a lone striker in a 4-5-1 formation.
