What Diego Costa Shouted At Antoine Griezmann For Siding With Samuel Umtiti In Brawl

Barcelona and Atlético Madrid faced off in a heated match over the weekend, with both Spanish sides looking to claim the top spot of the La Liga table.

However, Diego Costa found himself in a war of words with Samuel Umtiti during the second half, with Antoine Griezmann getting involved in the hopes that he could probably cool down the tense situation.

For the French World Cup-winning star, it seems like the former Chelsea striker wasn't impressed with him at all.

The Daily Mail reports that new footage of the incident has emerged from Movistar TV, which shows the 30-year-old Spanish striker getting angry with his Atlético partner.

In fact, Costa can be spotted yelling at the 27-year-old Frenchman, saying the following: "I'm your teammate!"

It looks like the two buried the hatchet shortly after the incident when Costa opened the scoring for Atlético and Griezmann provided the assist.

Ousmane Dembélé would become Barcelona's saviour when he bagged himself a 90th-minute equaliser.

Sevilla have taken the top spot in La Liga after beating Real Valladolid 1-0 on Sunday.

Ernesto Valverde's Barça side are now second and are one point behind the league leaders, while Diego Simeone's team are third and are two points behind Sevilla.

Who will win La Liga this season?
