Spitting annoyed me the most i hate it. Trying to think of a Juve player doing something sinikar innl the past ans i cant.
Pogba did it, maybe in his first season. But that is the only other time I can think of.

Watch him say he was racially abused. 100%
If he was then he should definitely call the guy out for it. I suspect he just wasn't happy with the earlier challenge from Di Francesco, they got in an argument and he lost his head. Who knows though..

The spitting incident I always recall is Totti spitting on Poulsen. I think UEFA only banned him for 3 matches for it. lol

Costa should get 5 minimum for this. Elbow, headbutt, spit. Wouldn't be surprised if they throw the book at him and he gets 8-10. Only thing maybe saving him is he doesn't have a history of this stuff.

That was 15 years ago or something no?

The elbow wasn't much.

However. Spitting should be 5-6 matches alone, and the headbutt another 3. So 8-10 matches seems right to me.

2004 I believe.
Did he make contact with the headbutt though? It looked like more of a gesture or failed attempt to me. I don't think he'll get anything for that.
