i'd say that's a dive...the defender is making every effort to move out of the way and it looks like he does it before messi gets there...at the very least this is an embellishment
this not only made me lose all respect for messi, which i had very little of to begin with, but i lost all respect for the ref too...there was no reason at all for him to even be kicking the ball into the stands...if anything he should have got a yellow for delaying the game
Barcelona is a fantastic club, don't get me wrong, fantastic football as well, I think they have to stop a little bit of that.Whenever you go on contact, 1 v 1, 50-50 balls, they are always on the floor, crying
