Jordi Alba's display against Eibar earned a lot of prase...from acting academies around the world.
The Spanish defender saw the Barcelona-Eibar ref awarding Los Blaugranas a penalty kick after he fell into the visitors' box. As replays emerged, fans saw Alba falling down without anyone touching him.
Eibar's players were enraged by this call, but justice was served moments later, as Lionel Messi failed to convert.
