During the video called "The 7 questions I always wanted to ask Georgina", uploaded on Tuesday, Ronaldo's partner Georgina Rodriguez jokingly called him a "bobo," a Spanish term for fool. Seizing the moment, Ronaldo, echoed Messi's famous words "qué miras bobo" with a grin.
"Qué miras bobo", which means "what are you looking at, fool", is a phrase that became famous after the usually calm-mannered Messi directed it at Dutch player Weghorst during a tense post-match interview at the 2022 World Cup quarterfinals.
The camera captured Weghorst trying to explain to the Argentina players, including Sergio Augero, Lautaro Martinez and Lisandro Martinez, that he only wanted to shake Messi's hand but was brushed off.

Ronaldo's imitation of Messi quickly went viral on social media. "Ronaldo is a fan of Messi," one user wrote on X.
"Let's see when Ronaldo can lift the World Cup like Messi," another commented.
