VIDEO: Ronaldinho lookalike invades Argentina's training session, bows to Messi

Last week former Italian captain and World Cup winner Fabio Cannavaro sent out a photo of a Ronaldinho lookalike he spotted while in Indonesia. The resemblance was uncanny.

Wednesday, another doppelganger of the Brazilian star was making news. 

Only this time, the appearance was much closer to home, as the individual in question found his way onto the pitch in Belo Horizonte during Argentina's latest training session.

As any sane fan would, he makes a dash straight for Lionel Messi, and greets the diminutive attacker in a manner befitting of football royalty.

After you disregard the fact that a random person off the street was able to bypass security and get onto the pitch during a training session and get face-to-face with arguably the best player in the world, this is pretty awesome.

Judging by the players' reactions, they got quite the kick out of it.
