Neymar: His Barcelona Education Appears to Include Diving Practice
By Mike Cardillo
Neymar is a great soccer player, but this dive in Barcelona’s game against AC Milan in the Champions League Wednesday was nothing to cheer about. Apparently the Brazilian star is learning every aspect of the “Barcelona Way” as he went down quickly after running into Milan defender Ignazio Abate.
Lionel Messi converted the subsequent penalty to end a shocking three-game scoreless streak.
Barcelona leads 2-1 at halftime. Milan got a late lifeline through a Gerard Pique own-goal.
