Cristiano Ronaldo, the star forward of Al-Nassr, recently had a lighthearted exchange with his Turkish lookalike, Gokmen Akdogan, before his team’s Saudi Pro League match against Al-Shabab at Al-Awwal Park. According to reports from The Sun Newspaper, the Portuguese football icon playfully dismissed claims that Akdoğan resembled him, sparking laughter among fans.
During the pre-match warm-up, Ronaldo spotted Akdogan in the stands and decided to have some fun at his expense. The social media personality, who has built a strong following due to his striking resemblance to the five-time Ballon d’Or winner, relocated to Saudi Arabia, where he creates content blending comedy and football. Akdogan is often seen wandering the streets of Riyadh, surprising fans with his uncanny resemblance to the legendary footballer.
Seeing him in the crowd, Ronaldo pointed him out and jokingly said, "Bro, you don’t look like me. You’re very ugly." His remarks, captured by journalist Khalid Alolyan, were all in good fun, as Akdogan laughed along and responded enthusiastically, repeatedly calling Ronaldo “the best.”
The interaction quickly gained attention on social media, with many fans appreciating Ronaldo’s sense of humor. Akdogan, who took the teasing in stride, continued to smile throughout the exchange, showing admiration for the Portuguese star.
Despite the entertaining moment off the pitch, the game itself proved to be frustrating for Ronaldo and his team. Although he managed to score Al-Nassr’s second goal, the match ended in a 2-2 draw, leaving the team disappointed as they dropped crucial points in the league.
Ronaldo remains a focal point in Saudi Arabian football, both for his performances on the field and his interactions with fans
