Doumbia's incredible dive that ended up injuring him

Seydou Doumbia, of Sporting, took part in one of the stupidest moments of Barcelona's 1-0 win in Lisbon in the Champions League. With few minutes to go in the first half, he dived and paid a high price.

The No 88 tried to trick the referee by going down in the Barcelona box. When he moved past Gerard Pique he flung himself to the floor. The referee did not buy it and booked him.

 

However the punishment did not stop there. He had to be taken off two minutes later after injuring himself during the dive, replaced by Bas Dost.
