We've all seen Diego Costa's crazy antics this season, from driving a John Deere on the training field to stealing cake at halftime from the press conference room. Although it bolstered Chelsea's internet presence, Antonio Conte was ultimately not impressed.
We know what position they play, the teams they’ve played for and every detail in between. But before their faces became famous and their jerseys sold out, they were just little kids with big dreams. Take a look at the adorable faces of your favorite players.
Arsenal defeated Chelsea 2-1 in the 2017 FA Cup Final after Alexis Sanchez opened the scoring in the fourth minute with a truly awful goal, and Aaron Ramsey secured the victory after Diego Costa had equalized for 10-man Chelsea. Victor Moses was sent off in the 68th minute for a sad, not even remotely believable dive.
Diego Costa's hysterical antics have been in full swing this season. From the tractor incident to funny post match interviews, the list keeps growing. During halftime of Chelsea's travels to West Brom, Costa fancied himself a nutritious snack, and Conte was informed of this after the match.
Brad Guzan's favorite spice is nutmeg. Or maybe it's his least favorite spice, but Chelsea's favorite spice. I'm not sure which variation of the joke I'm supposed to make here.

Middlesbrough, meanwhile, started Monday one step away from being relegated to the Championship, and that step has been taken. Goodbye Middlesbrough.
Diego Costa is a strange dude.
