Liverpool star, Mohamed Salah has found his perfect lookalike Ahmed Bahaa at a cafe in Cairo last week as he joined other soccer fans to watch Liverpool forward play the Champions League semi-final.

The duo had identical smiles, identical hair, identical beards, and was wearing identical shirts to make more confusing.


According to The Sun reports, Bahaa is an engineer based in Giza, Egypt, but his resemblance to Salah has made him something of a star in his homeland. He is said to regularly appear on Egyptian TV and has over around 4,700 Twitter followers.

"It was an honour to look like him because he is the one thing bringing the most joy to Egypt right now" Bahaa quoted as saying in the video shared by the Free Press.
