Mikel & Messi...13 years later
Those youth championship and olympic battles seem so long ago.
Messi has gone on to become arguably the greatest ever to do it and Mikel....well....he won lots of trophies (including AFCON) and made a lot of money.
It would be somewhat poetic, if now, in the last act of their careers Mikel finally gets the better of Messi (and Aguero) in a tournament.

The guy just never recovered from that AC milan move. Last i heard he was in finland or something.
We have been brainwashed by the Premier League that it's the best in the world. Nonsense. It's the best brand

He says that we are currently "brainwashed" into believing that the Premier League is the best competition in the world, and that we are now a long way off dominating the Champions League again.
Gary Neville: Mirror: 12/23/14
I think Spain’s by far the best league.

Re: Mikel & Messi...13 years later
Both will lead their teams out when they meet. Mikel is Legend! The real question is what happened to the rest of the players in that tournament?

There was no Olympic battle between them...Messi was at Beijing 08, Mikel at Rio 16. They did however battle at the last World Cup though.nasadder wrote:

Is Taiwo even still actively playing? That is the question.

Re: Mikel & Messi...13 years later
On this one I can comfortably say Mikel has done well for himself. He's faced Messi over and over again and he is still in the lead. Yes Messi is undoubtedly the better player but Mikel was relevant.

Re: Mikel & Messi...13 years later
I believe there was an Olympic battle between them. The Beijing 08 Olympics and the U-23 team coach was SiaOne. As usual we were in the same group with Argentina who we later played in the final. We won the silver and Argentina the gold. Messi was also named the best player and Mikel 2nd to him too. After this Olympics SiaOne became the SE coach.nasadder wrote:you're righttheYemster wrote:There was no Olympic battle between them...Messi was at Beijing 08, Mikel at Rio 16.

That was the WYC in the Netherlands I believe in 2005. Mikel wasn't in Nigeria's Beijing 08 Olympics squad.azuka wrote:I believe there was an Olympic battle between them.
