Style of play

Described as a "sweeper-keeper" because of his playing style, Costa is a goalkeeper distinguished by his technical skills and tactical intelligence. He possesses exceptional reflexes and reaction times, enabling him to execute difficult saves in one-on-one situations and against point-blank shots. Costa also excels in penalty situations, displaying composure and a strong sense of positioning. His effectiveness in collecting crosses further highlights his decision-making abilities and overall goalkeeping prowess.{{Cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/4680127/2023/07/14/diogo-costa-50-to-watch/|title=Diogo Costa: The Casillas-endorsed goalkeeper who makes laser-guided deliveries|website=The Athletic}}{{Cite web |last=Fitzgerald |first=Dan |date=2022-10-07 |title=Why Manchester United are desperate to sign FC Porto's Diogo Costa |url=https://thepeoplesperson.com/2022/10/07/why-manchester-united-are-desperate-to-sign-fc-portos-diogo-costa-253557/ |access-date=2025-04-14 |website=Man United News And Transfer News {{!}} The Peoples Person |language=en-US}}{{Cite web |title=Quem é Diogo Costa?

Tactically, Costa is a goalkeeper who is comfortable with the ball at his feet, facilitating play from the back and aiding in ball distribution. His precise short and long passes help initiate attacks and maintain possession for his team. Additionally, Costa has strong game awareness and positioning, allowing him to anticipate plays and effectively intercept crosses and aerial threats. His leadership qualities are evident on the field; he communicates well with his defensive teammates, showcasing maturity and confidence in organizing the defensive line to ensure team compactness. Pedro Pereira, a goalkeeping coach who worked with Costa in Porto's youth system and B team, described him as "a very calm goalkeeper, one with real presence", and stated that "he has clarity in key moments and controls his emotions very well. He exudes security in everything he does and that transmits a sense of serenity to the team."
