Costa leaves defender for dead with Elastico

Costa leaves defender for dead with Elastico

Juventus' Douglas Costa pulled off a sublime piece of skill in his team's stalemate against Ajax Amsterdam - something his great Brazilian compatriot, Ronaldinho would be proud of. Have you seen it?

The match might have ended in a one-all stalemate but there was something to cheer about for the Juve fans. Second half substitute, Douglas Costa was quite a handful for the Ajax defenders.

The Brazilian executed a deft 'elastico' nutmeg as he avoided the attention of defender, Joël Veltman. He may have lost the ball shortly after but fans didn't seem to mind at all. 

UEFA posted it as their Skill of the Day. Check it out!

Ronaldinho once perfectly executed the 'elastico' in a UEFA Champions League match against Chelsea.

 

Whose elastico was better between Costa and Ronaldinho?
