Antonio Conte's brother hugged Diego Costa in the tunnel before Chelsea's Champions League clash with Atletico Madrid.

Gianluca Conte is his older brother's assistant at Chelsea and was clearly delighted to catch up with Costa as the striker caught up with his old team-mates.

Costa greeted several members of staff along with several Chelsea players before kick-off though there was no sign of a meeting with Antonio.
