Diego Costa returned to Stamford Bridge and the fans welcomed him with cheers. After the match, which ended in a 3-0 defeat for Wolves, Diego Costa said that the welcome from the 'Blue' fans confirms what he has always maintained: when he left he had no problem with the fans or the club.

Spanish-Brazilian Diego Costa will never forget his time as a Chelsea player. Although he didn't leave as he would have liked, he is still fond of the English club.

This Saturday, Costa returned to Stamford Bridge, but he did so as a Wolves player. The fans cheered the striker, showing that they still remember the goals he scored for the Blues back in the day.

Unfortunately for the striker, Wolves lost 3-0. After the game, Costa had words for the Blues fans. "I have never had a problem with the fans. My problem wasn't with the fans, it was with Antonio Conte," he was quoted as saying by the 'Mirror'.

"This match has shown that I didn't leave badly with the fans, for me it's special. I have the feeling that in the time I was in London, I did a good job and left good memories. The Chelsea fans always treated me very well. I was surprised how they supported me.
