Sometimes players dive because they've actually been fouled and want to make sure it's called. Sometimes they dive in order to earn a penalty or get a player booked. Some players are quite good at it, but some are really, really bad at it. We're guessing that Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos was diving to get a penalty here, but this is so bad it's honestly hard to tell.

That’s maybe the worst attempt at a front flip in the history of everything. If you’re going to dive in the Champions League, you should try to make it look good. Ramos didn’t even have the decency to eat turf for his failure.
