The former Chelsea defender feels the Spain
international poses a serious threat to Paris Saint-Germain and believes
his old club are stronger than last season
David Luiz has warned his Paris Saint-Germain team-mates to be cautious when they come up against Diego Costa in Tuesday's Champions League clash.
The Chelsea striker will start in the clash at the Parc des Princes as he returns from a three game ban for stamping on Emre Can during the recent win over Liverpool.
And the Brazil defender feels his side must be wary of the attacking threat of the striker who has scored 17 goals in 19 Premier League games.
"He's a good striker and he has started scoring goals with confidence," he told reporters. "He is an amazing player."
The centre-back also stressed the importance of his side getting a good result on home turf, but admits it will not be easy as Chelsea have improved this season.
"We need to be strong, to have an amazing first leg because we need to decide it there.
"They understand the philosophy of Mourinho more, and it's easier for him to pass on the message in the second year.
"They have added two or three players with amazing quality, like Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa. They are stronger this year.
"There won't be a gap in quality in this game. You have two amazing teams, good players and two amazing coaches. We need to prove how far we have come on the pitch."
