With Chelsea facing Paris Saint-Germain in the second leg of the Round of 16 tie at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night, the Ligue 1 club's social media account has been busy trying to get some attention on the game with a number of campaigns. They started with the photoshopped movie posters that saw their players as various heroes into famous Hollywood flicks and have now taken it one step further by trolling Blues’ striker Diego Costa.

Chelsea trail the tie 2-1 but did score what could be a crucial away goal at the Parc des Princes in the first leg. The visitors had scored from an unlikely source as John Obi Mikel found the back of the net from a corner. Costa had not managed to score and PSG were in the mood to point that out.
In a Vine video posted on their official account, PSG showed a number of masked heroes in rapid succession with the caption ‘Spot the Fraud’. In between comic book heroes such as Spiderman and Batman to villains such as Bane and Darth Vader, there is one picture of a masked Costa in the video. The images move by so fast that you miss it if you blink, forcing users to pause the video if they can to take a good look at Costa.
Costa has been playing with a mask on to protect a broken nose when he had clashed with Fikayo Tomori at a training session in February. The Brazilian-born Spanish striker had to fly to Milan to get the mask fitted.
Still trying to pause the video to get a good look? No worries, we’ve managed to get a screenshot so you don’t have to.
This is not the first time PSG have had a Twitter battle with Chelsea a target. They have had some banter sessions in earlier seasons as well.
