It didn't take Diego Costa even 10 minutes to show that he's not going to make it easy for Diego Simeone to take him out of Atletico Madrid's starting line-up, following the signing of Luis Suarez from Barcelona.
The Brazilian-born Spaniard is determined to show that Los Rojiblancos were right to try so hard to bring him back from Chelsea in the summer of 2017, with the club having tried to find a buyer for Costa in recent months.
This has been unsuccessful, however, and that is why he was able to start for Atletico in their LaLiga Santander opener at home to Granada.
Nine minutes in, Costa got on the end of Angel Correa's cross and sent a powerful header into the ground which made its way past Rui Silva.
