Mikel Obi apologises to Ronaldo

Sports Brief also reported that legendary Nigerian midfielder John Mikel Obi has apologised to Cristiano Ronaldo for a recent statement that circulated widely on social media platforms.

The former Chelsea midfielder was reportedly quoted as saying that Thierry Henry, Eden Hazard, and several other players were superior to Ronaldo in the Premier League.

The quote sparked intense backlash from online fans, as the former Super Eagles captain faced criticism for suggesting that the Portuguese veteran is not among the top 10 greatest players in the English top flight.
