The former Ghanaian football legend, Mohammed Ahmed “Polo,” unequivocally clarified that he never claimed to be a better footballer than Lionel Messi during his illustrious career in both clubs and the national team.

Affectionately known as “Polo” in football circles, the iconic figure stated that his remarks had been misinterpreted by the media, leading to a mistaken public perception. The renowned Ghanaian star and Hearts of Oak player, often hailed as the “dribbling magician,” is widely recognized as one of the most skillful and technically gifted footballers to emerge from his country.

In April 2011, a series of articles circulated, claiming that Mohammed Polo had declared himself superior to Messi, who was 23 at the time and widely regarded as the world’s best player. Back then, the former attacking midfielder for Barcelona and PSG held the FIFA World Player of the Year title for 2009 and had won the Ballon d’Or in 2009 and 2010, drawing comparisons to legendary figures like Diego Maradona and Pelé.

“I was misquoted” Twelve years later, the 1978 African champion revisited this controversy and categorically denied making such statements. He maintains that he was “misquoted” by the media for sensationalist purposes, motives they understand best.

“I never uttered those words; I didn’t say that—it was manufactured by individuals out there. They have the prerogative to interpret as they wish, but I want to stress that I never claimed I was superior to Lionel Messi,” clarified Mohammed Polo during an appearance on Angel Floodlight Sports, hosted by Saddick Adams. Polo further emphasized that he was not affected by the criticisms at the time, as everyone is entitled to their opinion.

An icon in Ghana The “dribbling magician” was a crucial part of the Ghanaian team that won the 1978 Africa Cup of Nations at home. He scored over 20 goals in more than 50 matches for the Black Stars between 1973 and 1985.

During his glory years, he played for Hearts of Oak in the Ghana Premier League and made significant contributions to the team’s renowned “Fearsome Five” lineup that dominated opponents throughout the 1970s and 1980s.

Furthermore, he showcased his skills in the 1980s while playing for Al Wasl in Dubai, where he quickly became a fan favorite due to his exceptional talents.
