8 football players which look very similar to other players
Here is the list of pairs of players which look similar. Can you think of any we have missed?
Sacha Kljestan and Leo Messi
The American of Serbian origin, Sacha Klkestan, cannot deny he looks very similar to the great Lionel Messi. The player started his career at Chivas, from where he went to Anderlecht. In 2015, he left the Belgian league to go back and ply his trade in North America. We hope that the New York Red Bulls knew that they were not signing Lionel Messi with a beard! He then went to Orlando City.
Marwin Hitz and Yann Sommer
These two are both goalkeepers. Not only they look similar, but they are both Swiss internationals who play in Germany. Therefore they can easily swap places and no one would notice. Hitz plays for Dortmund after being at Augsburg and the Borussia Monchengladbach goalkeeper is the current Switzerland number one.
David Alaba and Kingsley Coman
Not only they look alike, but they also play in the same team and even have the same hairstyle. Various photographers have got them mixed up when writing a caption at the bottom of a photo and fans did not know sometimes who was on the pitch. Guardiola decided not to change their positions on the pitch, but he could have considered it due to Alaba's versatility.
Marc-André Ter Stegen and Bekim Balaj
He is not a goalkeeper, but a striker, but this Albanian international could be the Barcelona goalkeeper's double if any advertising company proposed it. We wonder if the goalkeeper's quality with the ball at his feet come from the fact he looks so like Balaj.
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and Rune Almenning Jarstein
The Dutch striker for Ajax and the Norwegian goalkeeper closely resemble each other. They are not exactly two peas in a pod, but considering the two players are of such different origins it is certainly eye-catching. Will Jarstein be as good at shooting as Huntelaar? It is something we will probably never know.
Ivan Rakitic and Joshua Kimmich
Nowadays, they probably do not look very similar apart from a few features, but those who saw Rakitic play as a youngster will know he looks very similar to the young Kimmich. And if you have not, then take a look at the picture and judge for yourself.
Vicente Iborra and Salvatore Sirigu
The powerful Villarreal midfielder has a lookalike in the Italian international goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu. Knowing that the Italian is not particularly good with his feet, we wonder if Iborra will at least be a slightly better goalkeeper then his lookalike as an outfield player.
Oswaldo Alanís and Mats Hummels
Last, but not least. If there are two players that look similar, they are the Mexican Oswaldo Alanis and the German Mats Hummels. They are so alike that the two of them have even joked about it on social media. Out of the 8, is this the pair which look the most similar?
