Diego Costa was spotted hugging some Arsenal players in the tunnel in his return to England but he was also his usual angry self.
The Spain international was originally deemed to be a doubt for the Europa League semi-final first leg at the Emirates but turned out to be fit enough for a place on the bench in his side's 1-0 defeat.
Things got very lively early on as Sime Vrsaljko was shown red for two yellows in the first nine minutes, before manager Diego Simeone was sent to the stands in yet another high-profile European game for remonstrating at the referee in an animated manner.
Costa was kicking every ball from the sidelines and one incredible GIF in particular shows him leaping out of his site when he sensed confrontation.
The bloke just absolutely lives for it, doesn't he? He'd have a fight in an empty room.

Fans were waiting for the former Chelsea striker to be unleashed but he didn't even get on the pitch.
Atletico barely got out of their own half the whole game but the crucial away goal from talisman Antoine Griezmann to make it 1-1 on the night gives them the advantage going into the second leg.
