The Spanish football league, LaLiga, has come hard on one its stars, Diego Costa, after finding him guilty of abusing an official.

Costa has been handed an eight-match ban for abuse on referee, Jesus Gil Manzano, during the crunch LaLiga encounter between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona at Camp Nou.

The Spain international was sent off on 28 minutes as Atletico went on to lose 2-0 to league leaders, Barcelona last weekend.

He has been given a four-match suspension for insulting Gil Manzano’s mother, and a further four-match ban for grabbing the official.
