Online memes erupt as Cristiano Ronaldo randomly roasts his ‘lookalike’

Cristiano Ronaldo has battled some tough opponents in his career, but nothing could have prepared him for the ultimate challenge yet - his doppelganger. In a now-famous clip from Al Nassr's pre-game warm-up, Ronaldo stood face-to-face with impersonator Gökmen Akdoğan and, well, let's just say he did not hold back.

With the swagger of a man who is absolutely certain about what he resembles, Ronaldo put it in his place straight away, bluntly informing Akdoğan,

"You don't look like me, you're very ugly."

Meanwhile, Akdoğan, totally unfazed by the verbal red card, reacted like a true supporter, lavishing Ronaldo with compliments as if he hadn't just been roasted by his hero.

The internet, naturally, has been having a field day with the exchange, with responses running the gamut from outright comedy to secondhand embarrassment. As soon as the video went viral someone took to his X account and commented:

"the fake Ronaldo looks more like Ronaldo than the real Ronaldo"

The internet is officially questioning reality, as one commenter went out on a limb and said that the impostor Ronaldo actually resembles more Ronaldo than Ronaldo himself.

Perhaps Gökmen Akdoğan is the real deal, and we've been watching an imposter collect five Ballon d'Ors all along. Someone get FIFA on the phone - this could be the greatest transfer twist in football history.

The internet has not hesitated in making this weird Ronaldo vs. Fake Ronaldo bout comedy gold. From arguments as to who the actual Ronaldo is to identity theft memes, fans are having a ball. Some people are sure that this was some kind of matrix glitch, but others are simply amazed that Akdoğan sat through the roast like a trooper.

Let's take a look at the best reactions to this surprise showdown!
