Former Super Eagles goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama was the only Nigerian player he considered while picking his team, but eventually went for Petr Cech.

"Between Petr Cech and Vincent Enyeama, I played with Petr Cech for a long time, so I have to go with [him]," Mikel said in a trending video on social media.

He completed his team with three other former Chelsea players alongside himself and Messi.

"I go with John Terry, Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard, Lionel Messi, and myself."

It is likely that Mikel Obi's choices for his dream team will stir up some reactions, especially among his compatriots.
