Lionel Messi never dives & a genius Iniesta dribble (Barcelona-Athletic Bilbao)

Barcelona may have failed to score and drawn 0-0 with Athletic Bilbao in their Copa del Rey first leg match on Tuesday night, but there are still a few moments that are well worth flagging up.

The ever popular commentator Ray Hudson on Gol TV mentioned in Barcelonas 5-1 win over Espanyol on Saturday how Lionel Messi never dives and pointed viewers to a now famous YouTube video that is a compilation of how the Argentine forward simply refuses to go down.

Messi was at it again against Athletic Bilbao and this time his honesty may have cost him. After coming on as a substitute in the 54th minute against Bilbao was involved in an incident where he stayed on his feet despite a heavy clattering from defenders.

Referee Antonio Lahoz blew for a foul and with typically quick feet, Messi had by this time nutmegged his man and jinked past another into the Bilbao box.

Footage of Lionel Messi refusing to dive against Athletic Bilbao is on this video.

Also from the same game, Andres Iniesta went on one of his mesmerising runs down the left wing, where the ball was seemingly stuck to his feet.

The annual Tour de France is among the most grueling races in all of sports.

Sure, names like Lance Armstrong, Greg LeMond and defending champion Alberto Contador will go down in the annals of cycling history. Money?
