#4 Flop - Diego Costa
Diego Costa is currently enduring the worst phases of his professional career. The former Chelsea hitman last scored for Atletico Madrid in the league seven months back, in February 2018, of last season.
The case was no different for Costa against neighbours Real Madrid last night as he struggled to settle into the game and once again ended up having a torrid week. Costa had a golden opening to give Atleti the lead but squandered his one on one chance and ended up with a very weak effort on goal.
Similarly, the Spaniard's involvement in the attacking build-ups also looked far from pleasing. Costa had only 29 touches of the ball, racked up just one attempt at goal and his distribution was also very poor, as he finished only 60% of his total passes before being taken off in the 68th minute.
Initially, after his arrival, Costa seemed to have found the ideal partner in Antoine Griezmann and had developed a great deal of understanding with him on the pitch. But, as history suggests, only one of them has profited from the partnership up front thus far whereas the other is lacking confidence.
