Atletico Madrid defender Filipe Luis insists his new teammate Diego Costa is the best player he has ever played against and is a better player than his former teammate Eden Hazard as reported by Metro.
The 32-years-old, spent one year at the Stamford Bridge club before he opted to return to Atletico Madrid in 2015.
The Brazil international left-back joined the reigning Premier League champion alongside fellow Atletico Madrid star striker Diego Costa and the pair won the Premier League title for the Blues during their opening League season at the club.
Belgium international forward Eden Hazard was crowned PFA player of the year that campaign but Filipe Luis insists Diego Costa, who has recently returned to Atletico Madrid, is the best player he has ever played alongside.
Luis told El Mundo that the Spain striker is the best he has played with. He admitted seeing Juan Carlos Valeron do exceptional tricks, Neymar Jr and Eden Hazard with amazing talents, but the player who gave him most trophies was Brazil-born Spaniard Diego Costa.
He said Diego Costa always scores the opening goal of a match because it is one thing to score 30 League goals with hat-tricks in easy victories, and another, that 20 of those 30 League goals are enough to win 1-0. Nobody does that better than Diego Costa.
