“I can confidently tell you that Mohammed Ahmed Polo is better than Lionel Messi,” he told Accra FM.
He continued: “Even though there was no technology in Polo’s era to determine an offside as compared to today, with the way he [Mohammed Polo] was playing, no player could have been compared to him if he should have played in Europe.
“No doubt that Messi is a good player but comparatively, Polo is better than Messi”.
Lionel Messi has won the FIFA Player of the Year five times.
