One particular Iranian soccer fan has gained popularity for his uncanny resemblance to Argentina and Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi.

Riza Perestes has apparently become something of a minor phenomenon in his hometown, and now spends his days pottering around in an Argentina shirt just to confuse onlookers even further.

After a sudden surge in interest, the Mehr News Agency recently met up with Riza and took lots of pictures of the Messi doppelgänger.
