Photos of the two have been posted side by side with the comparisons growing even more given that Minnies plays in a yellow kit for Sundowns.

Minnies is one of the most talented players in South Africa and scored 23 goals in all competitions to help her side Super League title as well as reach the finals of the COSAFA Cup qualifiers and the CAF Women’s Champions League.

Fans on social media reacted to the photos, with one fan saying: “This is Miche Minnies, South African winger who plays for Mamelodi Sundowns. Ronaldinho needs to explain to us something.”

A second said: “Ronaldinho has some explaining to do. Looks like he visited South Africa 20 years ago.”

Another wrote: “You’re telling me this is not Ronaldinho’s daughter??

“Is this Ronaldinho’s daughter?” asked another.
