9. Andres Iniesta and Iam Noda

Ratings: ★★

Of course, some football lookalikes are more convincing than others, with Andres Iniesta discovering that fact the hard way.

Iniesta signed for Vissel Kobe last August but was not ready to play in the game at FC Tokyo. However, the home club had the ingenious idea of hiring a local impersonator to act as a stand-in.

8. Jonjo Shelvey and Lord Voldemort

A bit overused, but nonetheless hilarious, is the striking resemblance between Newcastle’s Jonjo Shelvey and Lord Voldemort of the Harry Potter series. 

7. Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Nihad Djedovic

Bosnian basketball star Nihad Djedovic felt the need to formally announce that he isn't actually Zlatan Ibrahimovic after growing tired of being tagged as the Swedish striker every day on social media.

An Iranian doppelganger of Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo, Reza Alireza Lou, has been gaining nationwide attention in Iran for his uncanny resemblance to the famous footballer, with thousands approaching him for photographs and signatures. 

5. Jamie Vardy and Lee Chapman

Mo Salah met 28-year-old Egyptian engineer Ahmed Bahaa, who rose to fame after many pointed out he bore a striking resemblance to the Liverpool star.

3. Lionel Messi and Reza Parastesh

Ratings: ★★★★

Reza Parastesh caused a stir on the streets of an Iranian city in 2017 after residents of Hamaden mistook him for a certain diminutive Barcelona superstar.

2. Niko Kovac and Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Ratings: ★★★★☆

Niko Kovac, the Bayern Munich coach, has quite the doppelganger in Hollywood star Joseph Gordon-Levitt. And even Joseph himself was not surprised...

1. Mesut Ozil and Enzo Ferrari

Ratings: ★★★★★

Enzo Ferrari was born February 18, 1898 and passed away August 14, 1988. If you want to know more about his life, I suggest you Google him.

On the other hand, Mesut Ozil who was born October 15, 1988 is the playmaker of Arsenal. If you look at their pictures there is an eerie resemblance between them. If you don’t know them one would even say they might be twins.
