A lot of people think the video below is a dive from Barcelona star Lionel Messi after being clattered into by a couple of Liverpool players.
We’re not so sure ourselves, but Twitter is full of people criticising the Argentine for his antics – something he’s not normally known for.

Messi perhaps made a lot of the challenges here, but that’s not necessarily the same thing as total play-acting to con the referee.
Have a look and make your own mind up…
