If you've ever been on Tiktok, you've probably come across his videos. He is the lookalike of Kylian Mbappé, the man currently making waves.

The Egyptian, who boasts over 740k followers on Instagram and 1.6 million on Tiktok, regularly posts videos where he is seen playing football alongside other more or less convincing lookalikes of Marcelo, Alisson Becker, Van Dijk, and Modric.

Their videos, each as entertaining as the last, generate millions of views, and the notoriety of the lookalike crew is now global.

Amel.B.80, as he is known on social media, was recently invited by Libyan organizers of a major mini football tournament in the city of Derna, and it’s safe to say that our ‘Mbappé’ captured attention during an exhibition match.

On the agenda: photos, visits, mingling with the crowd... it's almost as if he outshines the real Real Madrid star.
