A video of African football icon Abedi Pele’s sensational performance against Atletico Madrid in a friendly has surfaced online, with football fans reminiscing about how incredible the Ghanaian legend was during his heyday.
Pele ran the show for Marseille in the Coppa del Mediterraneo game, which took place in Italy.
The game ended in a 1-1 draw, with Abedi Pele assisting Marseille’s goal with a brilliant defense-splitting pass.
He was unstoppable throughout the match, contributing both in defense and attack. His dribbling, passing, pace, strength, and resilience were on full display as he caused problems for the Spanish side.
The Coppa del Mediterraneo was a pre-season tournament that ran for four years, from 1990 to 1994.
Abedi Pele led Marseille to the final but lost to Torino, who won the maiden edition at the Stadio Marassi.
