Diego Costa strongly crossed the line with his uncontrollable tongue - the weekend outburst of the Madrid "Atletico" forward led to an eight-game suspension.
The Spanish football federation thoroughly examined D. Costa's words in the match against "Barcelona" and today announced a possible severe penalty for him.
The footballer received a four-game suspension for his words to the referee, and another four for grabbing the referee's arm after a red card. In addition, the player has to pay a fine of 6,000 euros.
D. Costa cursed the main referee Gil Manzano twice during the match: "I sh** on your mother."
The 30-year-old footballer will no longer play this season - "Atletico" will have only seven more matches in the "La Liga" championship.
