You are what’s wrong with football.The defender does sweep his leg to try to catch the attacker, so the intent is there.
I think he makes contact too.
It is 99% a dive, but that defender is not in a position to say anything.

This is where VAR would prove conclusive in terms of a "clear error".
I'm guessing the referee's angle of the incident was such as to look like the defender's kick had caught him.
Either that or, as is more likely, he's corrupt as fuck.
It's 100% a dive, but it's also 100% a penalty
- A penalty kick is awarded if a player commits a direct free kick offence inside their penalty area or off the field as part of play as outlined in Laws 12 and 13....
- Direct free kick
A direct free kick is awarded if a player commits any of the following offences against an opponent in a manner considered by the referee to be careless, reckless or using excessive force:
If an offence involves contact it is penalised by a direct free kick or penalty kick.
- charges
- jumps at
- kicks or attempts to kick
- pushes
- strikes or attempts to strike (including head-butt)
- tackles or challenges
- trips or attempts to trip
- Careless is when a player shows a lack of attention or consideration when making a challenge or acts without precaution. No disciplinary sanction is needed
- Reckless is when a player acts with disregard to the danger to, or consequences for, an opponent and must be cautioned
- Using excessive force is when a player exceeds the necessary use of force and endangers the safety of an opponent and must be sent off

The defender has been careless in this situation, even though no contact was made
Clear dive, clear penalty
Don’t be ludicrous. It was a dive and never a penalty in a million years ffs.
Not the worst dive I’ve seen, Welbeck’s against Milan was worse.
