Diego Costa had an eventful afternoon during Atletico Madrid’s 2-0 victory over Getafe on Sunday. The Madrid striker experienced a rollercoaster of emotions, starting with a missed penalty followed by scoring a goal late in the game. However, on the latter occasion, he suffered an injury after violently hitting the post and had to be carried off the field on a stretcher.
Thankfully, the injury was not severe. Regarding the missed penalty, a bizarre incident unfolded in the stands right in front of the Spanish striker. Just before taking the shot, a Madrid supporter decided to drop his pants and show Costa his buttocks. While it’s unclear if this directly influenced Costa’s performance, he did stumble in his attempt, resulting in Getafe goalkeeper Codina saving the shot.
This incident serves as a reminder that supporters will resort to any means to support their team.
