Hours after first setting up camp outside the Parc des Princes stadium, impatient Paris Saint-Germain fans find ways to pass the time as they await Argentine superstar Lionel Messi, with some leading chants and one fan entertaining others by doing kick-ups. Messi landed in Paris earlier on Tuesday and was set to sign a deal with PSG following his departure from boyhood club Barcelona. IMAGES

Is that Leo Messi? Visitors to a small restaurant in Brazil's Sao Paulo are doing double takes and whipping out their mobile phones to snap photos of Alexandro Pereira Negreiros, a young man who is the spitting image of world famous football legend and FC Barcelona striker Lionel Messi. Alexandro's resemblance to the world class Argentian footballer has made waves on social media after a photo of him went viral and turned this waiter of a small family-owned eatery into an internet sensation. Leo Messi is one of the best, if not the best, strikers currently playing for a professional team. His awards include 5 Ballon d'Ors, 3 Golden Shoes, 8 Spanish La Liga titles, and 4 UEFA Champions League titles. It looks like Alexandro got really lucky with his doppelganger. Leo Messi has been known to meet certain fans, like a six-year-old Afghan boy who wore a plastic bag with Messi's name drawn on it, so maybe Alexandro will become even more lucky.
