Diego Costa appears to have accused Antoine Griezmann of siding with Samuel Umtiti in an argument which took place during Saturday nightâs big LaLiga clash.
Costa thought heâd sealed the three points for AtlĂ©tico when he scored in the 77th minute, but his goal was cancelled out by a late Ousmane DembĂ©lĂ© equaliser.
Earlier in the match, the fiery Spanish international striker had got himself involved in an altercation with Barcelonaâs Umtiti, and Griezmann appeared to be trying to calm the situation down.
But Costa seemed to take exception to Griezmannâs interjection, and his anger soon switched from his opponent to his own team-mate.
Eagle-eyed, Spanish-speaking viewers of the footage say that was exactly Costaâs issue, and he was angrily reminding Griezmann âIâm your team-mate, not himâ over and over again.
Griezmann and Umtiti are of course international colleagues, but Costa perhaps quite rightly believes that those kind of allegiances should be left at the door when it comes to club matters.
But it was Griezmann who assisted Costa for his goal, and the pairâs celebration together suggested their little tiff didnât last long.
Allâs well that ends well.
