Champions League quarter-final: Mikel Obi tips two teams to reach final

Former Super Eagles midfielder, John Obi Mikel, has tipped Manchester City and Arsenal to reach the final of the Champions League this year.

Obi Mikel appeared as a guest for the quarter-final draw held on Friday and picked out the balls.

The draw is the last ever for the current format.

From next season, the Champions League will be played in a 36-team format.

Arsenal will face Bayern Munich, while Manchester City will take on Real Madrid in the last eight.

When asked before the draw which teams would make it to the final, Mikel replied “The final will be held in Wembley, England so I would like an English club to make it into the final.

“I hope Manchester City or Arsenal make it.”

Mikel Obi is one of the few Nigerian footballers to have had the Champions League trophy, alongside Finidi George and Kanu Nwankwo.
