Playing style
Costa reads play early and sweeps confidently off his line, cutting out through-balls before they become threats. His distribution is crisp and purposeful—both short passes and long switches—turning defense into attack from the back. He's composed under pressure, the kind who settles a team when the moment tightens.
View style breakdown →World Cup 2026 outlook
In his prime years, Costa represents the new generation of European goalkeeping: tactically awake, ball-playing, and reliable when it matters. His standing in Portuguese football keeps him firmly in contention for major tournaments, though no squad confirmation has yet been made.
