On October 12, Chelsea Legends lost 0-1 to Liverpool Legends. Diego Costa and Skrtel had a conflict, which reminded people of the famous scene left by the two 10 years ago.

Di Matteo, who was the coach of the Blues, talked about Diego Costa after the game. He said: "I like what he did, and I also like Diego as a person. He is really good, and we all know that the team needs this kind of violent guy.

"When I played for Chelsea, we had Danny Wise on the team, and he was also the kind of player who made opponents feel uncomfortable. So I understand very well why coaches like to have players like Diego in their teams! "
