We all know that footballers are pampered and take care of their looks, but Diego Costa had a few tips for Xabi Alonso yesterday. 

With both players on the bench in yesterday's dead rubber game against Australia (Alonso having been subbed off) the topic of conversation seems to have drifted to manscaping and grooming, as Costa tried to give Xabi a few pointers. 

In an apparent attempt to wax his legs, he sticks a strip of tape down, and then tries to rip it off, but Alonso remains cool and collected throughout the whole thing. 

Perhaps Costa, like us if we got that close to Alonso, was trying to get some hairs or a DNA sample in order to clone his own mini-Xabi. Not that we've thought about trying that before but found out that he has security gates on his house and a complex alarm system that would make it too difficult, or anything.
