This was quite the surprising act by Messi

Lionel Messi was a busy boy on Saturday with Barcelona, scoring two goals in the 3-0 win against Osasuna, including a brilliant final goal.
But there was another part of the game that offered a "wow" moment. During the second half, Messi was marching towards goal when a defender approached him. Messi went to the ground, and he didn't looked to have been fouled nor did it really look like a dive. Right after Messi went down, he quickly turned to the ref to waves his finger, seemingly asking him not call a foul.
Take a look:

Well, that's some sportsmanship. Don't recall seeing something like that lately, but props to Messi for doing so and allowing play to continue.
