It may be eight years since Diego Costa last pulled on a blue Chelsea shirt, but his famously feisty temper has not dwindled as he made his mark during a charity match on Saturday.
The Spanish striker, 37, led the line for the west London club as they took on a team of Liverpool legends for the Chelsea Foundation, with both sides fielding star-studded line-ups for the game.
But Costa saw himself embroiled in a spectacular bust up with old enemy Martin Skrtel, leading to a yellow card in remarkable scenes given the game was classed as a 'friendly' for charity.
The Reds defender was sharper off the mark as the ball was fed to Costa on the left channel, sliding from behind to win the ball from his rival.
Yet Costa was furious with the tenacity of the tackle, and immediately squared up to Skrtel.
The referee was swiftly at the scene and brandished a yellow card in the forward's direction.
It's not the first time Costa and Skrtel haven't seen eye to eye, with the pair famously coming to blows during their heyday in a League Cup clash back in 2015.
