No-one can deny that Neymar is an incredibly gifted footballer, capable of producing things with a football we didn't think was possible.
But he's also got a reputation for going down too easy and diving about. Of course, he's got his work cut out when 6-foot something defenders are looking to chop him down, yet his antics against Borussia Monchengladbach in the Champions League were nothing short of embarrassing and did himself no favours.
El Chiringuito TV put together a compilation of the Brazilian's dives against the German side and it doesn't look great on his part. One incident sees him rolling around holding his face as if he's been hit with the most brutal 'Sweet Chin Music' from Shawn Michaels.

Of course he's not the only one guilty of doing it, but the majority would agree that as one of the finest players in world football, he needs to cut it out.

Imagine if he was doing this in Sunday League? He'd get a right kick in, if anyone could get anywhere near him.
