South African women’s player Miche Minnies has had fans demanding a ‘DNA test’ due to her incredible resemblance to Brazilian legend Ronaldinho.
Minnies, 21, is a striker for South African side Mamelodi Sundowns and has gone viral on social media after fans spotted she is a spitting imagine of the former Ballon d’Or winner.
Photos of Minnies in action have been posted alongside shots of trickster Ronaldinho, as the pair's similarities become stronger when compared to the footballing great playing for Brazil, seeing both wearing yellow jerseys.
Minnies is a talented player in her own right, scoring 23 goals in all competitions to help Sundowns retain the Super League title, also making the finals of the COSAFA Cup qualifiers and the CAF Women’s Champions League.

And Minnies found herself on the scoresheet again for the Sundowns on Monday as they ran out 4-0 winners over Costa Do Sol in the CWCL.
Leading fans on social media to post the resemblance between the South African forward and her Brazilian doppelganger, one fan tweeted: “Miche Minnies of the Sundowns Ladies reminds me of someone.”
Do you see the similarities between Ronaldinho and Miche Minnies? Let us know in the comments section.
A second said: “Ronaldinho must explain why he has this perfect lookalike in Miche Minnies who plays for Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies in South Africa!”
Whilst a third shared a picture of the two and commented: “This is Miche Minnies, South African winger who plays for Mamelodi Sundowns. Ronaldinho needs to explain to us something.”
“Ronaldinho has some explaining to do. Looks like he visited South Africa 20 years ago,” a fourth reaction said.
Though Minnies isn’t actually Ronaldinho’s child, the comparisons are hilarious and leaves fans keen to see what the talented 21-year-old can achieve in her career.
If her playing days are even half as good as the 2005 Ballon d’Or winner, then she’s set for a successful journey.
Ronaldinho won the World Cup, Copa America and Confederations Cup with Brazil, lifting the Champions League and La Liga at Barcelona and the Serie A with AC Milan before retiring in January 2018.
Amid the suspicious comparisons to Minnies, the Brazilian superstar is notorious for living a wild sex-mad life after he previously lived with two girlfriends at once whilst in a Rio de Janeiro mansion.
Though he denied being romantically involved with both Priscilla Coelho and Beatriz Souza at the same time, it’s claimed they had seprate bedrooms and would swap keeping Ronaldinho company for the night.
Ronaldinho has also appeared in a music video surrounded by naked models and once dated Italian porn star Sara Tommasi for two months.
