Diego Costa's season is finished due to an 8-game ban received after offending the referee during Atletico Madrid's 2-0 loss against Barcelona. Costa was sent off during the match.
After the match, as Koke explained, Costa apologized to his team for leaving them with 10 men prior to the 30' mark of the game. His apologies, however, are not enough to excuse his behavior which certainly did not pass unobserved. The attacker will not be available for the rest of the season, so manager Simeone will work to lock down second place without him.
