Perhaps the best known case is that of Kylian Mbappé, of whom it was known that in the dressing room of Paris Saint-Germain he was compared to ‘Donatello’, a character from the Ninja Turtles; On one occasion, some players from the squad even gave him a mask from the cartoon.
In addition to him, there have been other cases such as Earling Haaland, a Borussia Dortmund player, who is related to the character ‘Majin Boo’ from Dragon Ball Z.
The list is long, but of course the similarities will depend on each person’s perspective. Among other notable comparisons are Edison Cavani with ‘Tarzan’, David Luis with ‘Bob Patiño’ from The Simpsons, Gareth Bale with ‘Sid Phillips’ from Toy Story, Cristino Ronaldo with’ Steve Hyuga’ of Super Champions and more.
