Patrice Evra has hit out at Douglas Costa after the Brazilian winger spat at an opponent during Juventus’ win over Sassuolo on Sunday.
Costa was given a red card for spitting into the mouth of Federico Di Francesco, while he also elbowed and headbutted the 24-year-old.
Costa faces a lengthy ban and a hefty fine for his actions and in response to his apology on Instagram, Evra aimed a dig at the Juventus midfielder.
‘You know the club’s symbol is a zebra, not a llama, right?’ Evra asked.
‘You may have apologised, but people will never know what he [Di Francesco] said to you.’

In his apology, Costa admitted that he made a ‘bad mistake’ and claims it was an isolated incident.

‘I would like to apologise to all Juventus fans for this misleading reaction in today’s game,’ Costa posted on Instagram.

‘I also apologise to my teammates, who are always with me in beautiful and bad moments.

‘It was a bad mistake, I am aware of it and I apologise to everyone for this.
‘I make it clear that this isolated attitude does not correspond to what I have always shown in my career.’
