A bad night for Lionel Messi. Not only his team failed to win and only made it a draw over Sociedad, the best player of 2010/11 received a yellow after his awful dive got caught by the ref.
Realizing that his team might lose, Messi tried to win a penalty. But unlike his other dive expert team-mate such as Alves, Rodriguez, and others, Messi failed , shamefully.
You can see on the video how Messi deliberately roll the ball to the spot that clearly crowded with opponents, instead of passing in to Iniesta on the back.
Yet on the same night, Ronaldo also accused on diving, but he got lucky instead. The ref rewarded him with a penalty, instead of a freekick.
The ref decision is not only came as a surprise on us, but it was also surprised Ronaldo and even Mourinho. The coach admitted that it shouldn't be a penalty, although he added that Ronaldo didn't dive.
On the video you can see, that Ronaldo really got tripped, since he made his usual trick when the opponent tackled his foot. He surely didn't intend to win a penalty, mostly a free-kick I presume, but it was all the ref mistake.
Just take a view on the video, and see who made the worst dive.
