Ronaldo’s playful insult to a lookalike fan catches attention before the Saudi Pro League game.

Cristiano Ronaldo's pre-match routine took an awkward turn before Al-Nassr's clash against Al-Shabab when he jokingly told a lookalike fan, "Bro, you don’t look like me, you are very ugly."

As the five-time Ballon d'Or winner warmed up, he threw the playful dig towards the fan, who appeared flustered but responded with a laugh.

After the comment, the fan continued to smile and gave Ronaldo a thumbs up, prompting the footballer to smile back and respond with a thumbs up of his own.

Fans on social media quickly reacted to the moment, with one user joking, “Does that mean he called himself ugly? ” Another fan added, “Bro smiling through the pain,” showing a mix of humor and sympathy for the lookalike.
