It looks like it isn’t just Diego Costa who likes getting his claws out every now and again…
The Chelsea midfielder has received widespread condemnation around the world for his world-class sh*thousery against Arsenal on the weekend.
Despite not registering a single foul throughout the game, he was pulling, pushing, pinching and scratching his way to three vital points.
But now he has received support from an unlikely source – Brazilian legend and viagra salesman, Pele.
Not only that, but the impotence curer used the opportunity to have a pop at Luis Suarez…just because.
Speaking to French newspaper L’Equipe he quipped:
“Everyone knows that Diego Costa is a very good player. It’s just part of the game. It’s not like he bit anyone like Luis Suarez – that’s far worse…”
Meow! We can’t wait to see Pele in the football reboot of Gossip Girl.
