Mohammed Polo was straightforward with his pick between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

The legendary Ghanaian footballer insists Lionel Messi is better than Ronaldo due to his great dribbling skills.

Polo, who was known in his days as the 'dribbling magician' in an interview with Ghanaweb stated that both players have distinct qualities that makes them unique.

"There shouldn't be a debate on this. These are different qualities of players. Ronaldo's style is different from that of Messi. What makes football interesting is entertainment,” he told Ernest Brew Smith on YouTube, as quoted by Ghanaweb.

“The dribbling and stuff are where you see the art of football. This is what I want to introduce because for Ghana's brand of football there should be skills, flair, artistry, creativity and confidence.

“When you have these four the Ghanaian brand of football is complete. For Ronaldo, if he does not score, he contributes nothing. But Messi, if he doesn't score he will create a goal, and then the art side will show. He has the artistry of football which will make people will pay to watch him."

He added: "Of course [Messi is better], but you cannot take anything away from Ronaldo because he makes football interesting as well. Comparatively, I don't see why they should be compared.”

Mohammed Polo recently launched his book ‘Polo The Magnificent: The story of the Dribbling Magician’.
