“You Don’t Look Like Me, You’re Very Ugly” – Ronaldo Teases Lookalike
Al Nassr’s forward, Cristiano Ronaldo, jokingly called his lookalike, Gokmen Akdogan, ugly, insisting they don’t actually look alike.
Ronaldo had the playful moment before Al-Nassr’s Saudi Pro League match against Al-Shabab on Friday at Al-Awwal Park. While warming up, he noticed Akdogan in the stands and couldn’t resist making a comment.
Akdogan, a Turkish social media personality, has gained fame for his striking resemblance to Ronaldo. He moved to Saudi Arabia and creates content ranging from comedy to football. He’s also built a solid social media following and is often spotted around Riyadh, surprising fans with his Ronaldo-like appearance.
When Ronaldo saw Akdogan, he couldn’t hold back. “Bro, you don’t look like me. You’re very ugly,” Ronaldo joked, as reported by journalist Khalid Alolyan.
Akdogan took it in good spirits, smiling through the exchange and responding, “You are the best, bro. You are the best.”

Thierry Henry Criticises Taking Dressing Room Issues to the Press
Former footballer Thierry Henry has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s match following their loss to Atlético Madrid on October 13.
Speaking during a brief interview on CBS Sports, Henry criticised the practice of players or coaches expressing certain opinions through the media instead of addressing issues directly within the dressing room.
“I’m not a coach anymore, but I always say, whoever speaks like that, out. Keep that in the dressing room, it’s as simple as that,” Henry said on CBS Sports.
“That is the only way it can work. You have to say those things to a person’s face… going through the press, I am not really a fan of that.”

Walid Acherchour Backs Lamine Yamal to Win 2026 Ballon d’Or
French football pundit Walid Acherchour has named Lamine Yamal as his pick to win the 2026 Ballon d’Or, sparking reactions among football fans.
Acherchour’s choice came as a surprise to some fans, who expected him to support fellow Frenchman Kylian Mbappé instead.
Speaking about his prediction, Acherchour expressed confidence in Yamal’s chances of winning the prestigious individual award.
“For me, Lamine Yamal, he is going to get it [2026 Ballon d’Or]. For me, there’s no doubt anymore,” Acherchour said, as quoted by Actu Foot. That start to the season shows that in fact, he was injured during the World Cup. He was the best player in La Liga, and he won the World Cup.
“Even if, for me, in fact, he doesn’t have the Ballon d’Or unanimously because his World Cup was average, even being average, he won it with Spain. He won La Liga with Barça.”
