Nigerian duo John Obi Mikel and Victor Moses are on the edge of European glory with their club, Chelsea. Chelsea will take on Portuguese side, Benfica in the Europa League final today in Amsterdam Arena.
This is Chelsea’s second European final in a year. Last year, they defied all odds to beat Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League final at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany.
Victor Moses is expected to start after Eden Hazard was ruled out of the game with an injury while Mikel is a doubtful probability as he recovers from a hip problem.
Good luck to the lads tonight. The game kicks off at 8pm Nigerian time.
