Alexandre Pato has opened up on how his former Chelsea team-mate Diego Costa used to deal with abuse.

Pato, 34, was once one of the most highly-rated attackers in the world when he shined for AC Milan, scoring 56 goals in 125 appearances for the Italian giants between 2007 and 2011.

However, the Brazilian - who also netted 10 times in 27 caps for his country - then suffered an unfortunate run of injuries and struggled for form.

In an attempt to get his career back on track, Pato joined Chelsea on loan in January 2016, where he was a team-mate of fellow countryman Costa.
