See The Lionel Messi's Lookalike That Was Arrested In Iran (Photos)

This happened after so many people came out to take pictures with him that it almost disrupted public order prompting the Police to wade in. The resemblance is so striking that Eurosport UK was reported to have used his picture instead of that of the Barcelona star in one of their reports.
