Diego Costa: Atletico Madrid forward banned for eight matches for clashing with referee during Barcelona defeat

Diego Costa has been handed an eight-match ban for clashing with referee Gil Manzano during Atletico Madrid’s LaLiga defeat by Barcelona.

An audio recording appears to confirm Costa said ‘me cago en tu puta madre’, which translates as ‘I s*** on your whore mother’.


Costa denied insulting Manzano’s mother.


It has been confirmed the 30-year-old’s ban is for two separate infractions, with four matches for his verbal assault and the other four due to physical clashes with Manzano.















The player has the right to appeal the lengthy suspension.


The eight-game ban means Costa’s season has ended, with Atletico having just seven LaLiga matches left to play before the close of the 2018/19 campaign.
