Your support makes all the difference.Paris Saint-Germain have branded Chelsea striker Diego Costa a "fraud" ahead of the clubs meeting in the Champions League last-16 on Wednesday night.
The club's official video sent out a humorous video on Tuesday afternoon, with a message that said in French: ‘you’ve found the heroes? Ok, now find the imposter’.
The video ran through a list of masked superheroes - Ironman, Spiderman, Batman, Deadpool and so on - with the tagline "spot the fraud".
Costa is hidden among the pictures, wearing the protective masked he has had to use in recent weeks after breaking his nose following an accidental training ground incident with Blues youngster Fikayo Tomori.
The striker, who has been in inspired form since Jose Mourinho was sacked and Guus Hiddink took over, is expected to return to the starting line-up on for the second leg, having missed the 1-1 draw with Stoke City at the weekend.
Costa had a minor tendon injury and was left out as a precaution ahead of the massive game against PSG.
Laurent Blanc's side hold a 2-1 lead from the first leg.
Chelsea captain John Terry missed training on Tuesday morning and is expected to miss the match, having not played since 13 Ferbruary because of a hamstring injury.
However, Spanish Pedro could be fit in time to play - the former Barcelona winger trained on Tuesday.
