Cristiano Ronaldo Accused of Diving in La Liga Match vs. Celta Vigo

Get your magnifying glasses out.

While Cristiano Ronaldo has been hammered on social media this evening after what looks, on first impression, like a shameless dive in Real Madrid's 3-1 win over Celta Vigo, one YouTuber has suggested that the fall wasn't really a dive.

The Portugal star, who scored in Real's victory, tried to go around the Celta defender, selling a step-over before shifting onto his right foot before tumbling to the floor and appealing for a free-kick.

Ronaldo, whose past indiscretions mean that every time he falls over it demands scrutiny, appeared to have tripped over his own feet.

But now it's time to take a look, utilise slow motion and really make the most of your Saturday night. You decide.

Was it a dive?
