Mikel Obi: Super Eagles legend outshines Kaka at Champions League Legends game

There is news about Super Eagles of Nigeria legend Mikel Obi.

Obi is trending for his involvement in the Champions League final.

On May 30, amid the excitement surrounding the UEFA Champions League final, an incredible reunion took place between football luminaries in the busy streets of London.

Under the auspices of the UEFA Champions League, the legendary Brazilian player Kaka reunited with Roberto Carlos, Clarence Seedorf, and Robert Pires for an incredible voyage.

A historic event, a 5v5 charity minigame featuring the Legendary Team, was arranged for London.

Legends of the UEFA Champions League, such as Luís Figo, Kaká, Roberto Carlos, David Silva, Cafu, Patrick Vieira, Obi, and many more, compete in a 5v5 format in the Ultimate Champions Tournament.

Ultimately, this reunion of football superstars is a moving reminder of how sport can bring people together and inspire us all.

Kaka and his teammates continue to motivate football fans worldwide with their constant dedication to greatness and shared passion, demonstrating that anything is achievable with time and effort.

It was an important outing for Obi as he outshined Kaka to lead his team to victory.

On Obi's team were, Luis Garcia, Bacary Sagna and David Silva among others.

According to Obi, he has been forgiven by former Manchester United coach Sir Alex Ferguson.

Coming off the 2005 Under-17 FIFA World Cup with Nigeria, Mikel was one of the best young football prospects in the World.

When Sir Alex Ferguson said he didn't intend to sign with Manchester United and instead wanted to play for Chelsea, Mikel saw his rage.

The former Blues player was involved in an absurd transfer story when he first chose to join United then deciding to join their Premier League opponents.

When Mikel was younger, he briefly trained at United with Roy Keane, Paul Scholes, and Nicky Butt. In 2005, he signed a pre-contract agreement with the team to leave Norwegian side Lyn.

He even donned their home uniform for a press conference that he attended.

Chelsea had sent him to Lyn, and they intervened to finalize a transaction in 2006 upon realizing he had ostensibly joined United.

Despite the favorable treatment he received from Ferguson and a few players during his tour, Mikel signed with the Londoners.

Years later, Mikel disclosed on his podcast that he was terrified to see Ferguson on the touchline during Chelsea's match against Manchester United.

And the retiring Scottish manager had a terrible expression on his face when they finally met.

But Mikel just disclosed on social media that he shared a photo of himself with Ferguson.

Obi was a star attraction as Real Madrid beat Borussia Dortmund to win the 2024 UEFA Champions League at Wembley Stadium.
