Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa has been handed an eight matches ban following his Red Card against Barcelona over the weekend, MySportDab reports.

Costa was given his marching orders after after confronting referee Jesus Gil Manzano and shouting in his face.

Costa was incensed after hitting the deck courtesy of a challenge from Barcelona midfielder Arthur but receiving no free-kick.

And the former Chelsea star reportedly verbally insulted the referee, shouting: 'I s*** on your f****** mother!'

Costa has now received an eight-game suspension - four games for his verbal insults and a further four for grabbing Manzano's arm.

A statement from the Royal Spain Football Federation read: "In relation to the expulsion of Diego Costa, the Committee of Competition has given this morning to the collegiate Jesus Gil Manzano a request for clarification of the arbitration act before pronouncing."

But the punishment is not deserved. People are just issuing punishments from their comfort without punishing or identifying the root cause. It is oppression and cheating

useless leagues call laliga... why don't they release the audio record first. is the ref not wearing microphone. Costa is just being punished for no just reason.

Arrogant player

bro,Costa did nothing wrong, I watched the game live. any ref who can't stand a player anger should no be worth a ref. if it was in epl, the ref would have called the club captain to talk to Costa.

That serves him right.
