Filipe Luis says Diego Costa is the best player he’s ever played with

Not only that, he went as far to say that Costa is a better player than Eden Hazard. Luis, 32, spent one season at Stamford Bridge before returning to Diego Simeone’s side in 2015.

Oscar joined Chelsea alongside Diego Costa and the duo won the league title during their opening season at Stamford Bridge.

Eden Hazard was crowned PFA player of the year that season but Luis insists Costa – who has recently rejoined Atletico – is the best player he’s played alongside.

‘Costa’ is the best I have played with,’ Luis told El Mundo. ‘I have seen [Juan Carlos] Valeron do things nobody could do. Neymar and [Eden] Hazard are amazing talents, but the player who gave me most trophies was Diego Costa. ‘He always scores the opening goal. Because it is one thing to score 30 goals with hat-tricks in easy wins, and another that 20 of those 30 goals are enough to win 1-0. Nobody does that as well as Diego Costa.’
