Well, you can't fault this fan for being devoted to his side.

Atletico Madrid continues to keep the La Liga title race the most exciting that it's been in years by defeating Getafe to remain at the top of the table.

However, that didn't stop one Getafe supporter from attempting to distract los Rojiblancos's top scorer this season, Diego Costa...

Bizarre: A desperate Getafe fan uses a really weird tactic to try to keep the score down

 

...and it worked, as the Brazilian-born Spanish international missed a penalty that would have put his side 2-0 up in the 66th minute.

However, Costa got the goal that he had been working so hard for 18 minutes later...except it came at a price when he collided with the post in an effort to get the ball in the net.

Ouch! He might have scored his side's 2nd to clinch all 3 points, but was unable to take part in the celebrations:

Now, that's devotion: Costa sacrificed his body to grab his 26th league goal:

But thankfully, for his team's sake, the injury looks a lot nastier than it actually is.

"Fortunately, he only has a wound after crashing into the post," Atletico informed fans via their Twitter account.

"He's perfectly fine...just has a [big] cut, but it's not a big issue."

Nonetheless, Atletico and the team's supporters will be hoping to see him back in action soon, especially with a crucial semi-finals Champions League clash with Chelsea looming on the horizon.
