Chelsea striker Diego Costa has been discussing his decision to leave Atletico Madrid in the summer. He left Diego Simeone's outfit for Chelsea in a £32m deal over the summer, and he's hit the ground running at Stamford Bridge, netting nine goals in just seven appearances for the west Londoners.
"I was extremely happy at Atletico and the last year when we achieved so much was the best year of my career as a footballer," he told Champions League Magazine.
"However, you always try to improve your life. The opportunity to join this tremendously important club came and while Atleti is a great team, this was a different league, one I'd always wanted to try.
"People always used to say that my game would fit the Premier League perfectly and so the opportunity to sign for an extremely famous club like Chelsea made me super-excited.
"I have to keep on working hard. I still have many years ahead of me in my career so I hope I will be able to play in another Champions League final - to have another opportunity to win this competition."
