Mourinho insists all 'kisses and cuddles' after heated exchange with Chelsea striker Costa

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho says he and striker Diego Costa reconciled with 'kisses and cuddles' following a heated exchange in the Blues' 4-0 Champions League win over Maccabi Tel Aviv on Tuesday.


Mourinho and Costa were seen to be exchanging pleasantries prior to the half-time interval, but the Portuguese boss said the pair quickly put the incident behind them during the break.

"Yes we had an argument," Mourinho said.

"I want him to do a certain movement that he didn't do. I was disappointed that he didn't and I reacted. He did too.

"But at half-time in the dressing room, a few kisses and a few cuddles. No problem."
