Marcelo ridiculed on social media after his headbutt dive

The main difference between the two incidents was the fact that Marcelo was the one to fall to the ground. Although he was the offender, Marcelo fell to the floor as soon as his soft bouncy curls hit Arnold’s chest.

Arnold received a yellow card.

Marcelo was roundly mocked on social media for his actions. Many said he deserved an Oscar for his dive, while others chose to criticise the headbutt, saying that Zidane needs to teach Marcelo how to do it properly. Arnold even had his own response after the match, saying he was jealous of Marcelo's locks.
