La Liga 2013-2014

Diego Costa scores and injures himself in the same moment!

edit: now that's commitment, fck me... smashed his knee into the post to get the tap-in, ouch
 
I do hope he's fit for Chelsea game.
 
Eek. My face looked like this guy's

Well if it's his last touch of the season, it's a pretty good way to go out

But terrible for him and Atletico
 
Atletico still beat Barca without him, so it's not like they're doomed in their last games of the season. It'd be much more difficult without their best player though.
 
There was a big gash just above his shin. Hopefully for him it's just a deep cut and some stitches will sort it.

He looked in a lot more pain that just a cut though.
Hitting your knee as hard as that hurts like a bastard in itself. When I bang my knee into the leg of a table or whatever at much slower speed I feel like it's about to fall off.
 
Really bad way for the match to end :(

Hope the diagnosis turns out ok.
 
I really don't understand that injury. That gash looked huge and deep.

Missed it in real time so assumed someone did a Nani-Carragher on him. Wouldn't have thought contact with a post would lead to that.

Hope he can get back to playing ASAP as it'd be great to see Atletico break the Real-Barca winning tradition.
 
They're not a one man team. Yes, losing Costa would be a big blow, but I'd still fancy them to finish the job in Primera and at least reach the Champions League final.

Four wins out of five is definitely manageable, as would progressing to the final without him. Don't think they'd score enough consistently without Costa to do both though. Anyway, probably best to just wait and see what the doctors say before worrying.
