Pepe getting tapped on the back and holding his face? Clear embellishment and no problems with a card there.

Agreed. Cant be the refs opinion to decide how hurt he is. I hope sometime soon we see a harsh punishment for a dive to get the ball rolling on stamping (get it?) out the play acting, but it needs to be on a play where there is no subjectivity.
Neymar's reaction was embarrasing, but that stamp was real and intentional, even if it was mostly harmless.
