Soren-Mikael Hansen, Politiken, Denmark "You'll have to be nothing but impressed by the performance from Diego Costa (of Chelsea).

Aurelio Capaldi, RAI Sport, Italy "Diego Costa netted a brilliant hat trick in a come back win over Swansea City, and is proving to be the right man for the Blues."

Leonardo Bertozzi, ESPN, Brazil "Mauro Icardi needs to be made for the news on the field, not by controversy off it. Against Sassuolo, he succeeded. Three goals to help Inter rout Sassuolo 7-0."

Mike McGrath, The Sun, England "Atletico Madrid's performance in beating the European champions was the stand-out display for me, but Diego Costa's hat trick, when most thought he would miss the game through injury, was the best individual showing." Manos Staramopoulos, Dimokratia, Greece "The most significant victory was achieved by Atletico Madrid in Spain, where they prevailed 2-1 against European champions Real Madrid in a great game."
