Platini: Pogba not a 'big star' like Messi, Ronaldo because he doesn't score enough

French football legend, and current UEFA president, Michel Platini is talking again, which is always a recipe for hilarity.

The topic du jour: Paul Pogba's stardom. Or rather, lack thereof.

Platini says his compatriot, who many have speculated could be the target of a world-record transfer bid this summer, is not worthy of such an exorbitant fee because he's incapable of shining in the same way the world's two best players can.

"A big star is a player who scores goals," Platini told RTL. "I don't know if Paul Pogba is a player who can play like (Lionel) Messi or (Cristiano) Ronaldo. They score 50 goals a season.

"The interesting thing about him at Juve is that whenever he loses the ball and his team concede, his teammates tick him off immediately."

Whatever you say, Michel.
