January 6 ,2007 , Diogo was involved in a fight withSevilla FC 'sLuís Fabiano , after apparently stepping on the Brazilian's hand and insulting him, which led to Fabiano putting Diogo in a strangle-hold in the closing stages of the game. This incident was punished with a five-game ban to both players.
