Douglas opened the 2012–13 season with a goal in Shakhtar's 2–0 win against Metalurh Donetsk in the Super Cup, his second success in the Super Cup with Shakhtar.[33] Douglas scored his first league goal of the season on 3 November 2012, when he converted a 20th-minute penalty against Metalurh Zaporizhya, the match finished 2–0 thanks to a late goal by Luiz Adriano.[34] On 24 November, Douglas came off the bench in the 55th minute, replacing team captain Darijo Srna, and netted a goal seven minutes later when he was played in by Armenian striker Henrik Mkhitaryan, as Shakhtar defeated FC Hoverla Uzhhorod 5–1.[35]

During the group stages of the season's edition of Champions League, Douglas only managed three substitute appearances, totaling twenty-three minutes, as Shakhtar finished second in the group behind Serie A champions Juventus, while dumping holders Chelsea out of the competition.[36] Following an underwhelming first half of the 2012–13 campaign, Douglas came off the bench to score a vital goal in Shakhtar's 2–2 first leg draw with Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League Round of 16 tie on 13 February 2013.[37]

He made his season debut in the Super Cup.[38] In mid-season, Douglas helped Shakhtar win the 2014 United Supercup, a tournament between the top-two placed clubs from Russia and Ukraine, becoming the joint top scorer of the tournament.[39] He helped the club win the Ukraine Premier League and was a joint assist leader of the league with nine assists.[40]

Bayern Munich

On 1 July 2015, Bayern Munich announced they had signed Douglas from Shakhtar Donetsk[41] for €30 million fee in a 5-year contract,[42] the fourth highest transfer fee in the club's history.[42] He was given the number 11 shirt previously worn by Xherdan Shaqiri. He made his debut as a starter on 1 August in the 2015 DFL-Supercup away to VfL Wolfsburg, crossing for Arjen Robben to open the scoring in an eventual 1–1 draw; he netted his attempt in the subsequent penalty shootout, but his team lost nonetheless.[43] Thirteen days later, he scored his first goal, concluding Bayern's 5–0 home win against Hamburger SV in the first game of the league season.[44]

On 21 May 2016, Costa scored the winning kick of the penalty shootout against Borussia Dortmund to win the 2016 DFB-Pokal Final and secure a league and cup double for FC Bayern.[45]

In November 2014, Douglas was called up to the Brazil national football team for the first time by coach Dunga, making his international debut against Turkey in Istanbul.[46]

In May 2015, Douglas was included in Brazil's 23-man squad for the 2015 Copa América.[47] In the team's opening match, Douglas came on as a substitute for Diego Tardelli and scored a stoppage-time winning goal against Peru, his first for the Seleção. In the quarter-final against Paraguay in Concepción, he replaced Willian for the final 30 minutes of a 1–1 draw, and then missed in the penalty shootout which eliminated Brazil.[48] On 17 November, Douglas scored his second goal for Brazil in 3–0 victory against Peru for 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification.[49]
