Nigeria's captain John Mikel Obi shares his opinion on who is the best among Ronaldo and Messi- Soo, grateful to have been able to play with him;

Former Chelsea's champions league winning midfield anchor and a golden ball silver medalist at the U20 level in 2005, John Mikel Obi has shared his opinion on the unending debate between who is the best in the world among Barcelona's Lionel Messi and Portugal captain Ronaldo.

Asked to weigh-in on the Lionel Messi vrs Cristiano Ronaldo debate and who he was rooting for, the Nigeria captain answered with smiling face;

“Messi All day,” all chorused.

The duo have featured prominently on the international stage since 2005, for their respective Nations, and extended the rivalry to club football with Chelsea and Barcelona in the UCL.

Yet, you couldn’t tell how big an influence the Argentine had on the former Chelsea man until a recent interview where he simply just confessed it all.

“Messi All day. For me he’s from a different Planet.

 Soo, grateful to have been able to play with him; from the under 20s we started playing together.
“Played against him so many times I’m so privileged to have done that.”
