Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Former Super Eagles captain, John Mikel Obi, has predicted that Borussia Dortmund will beat Real Madrid in next month\u2019s Champions League final.<\/p>\n

Both clubs are billed to face each other on Saturday, June 1, for the biggest prize in club football.<\/p>\n

Mikel Obi, who won the trophy with Chelsea, has told TribalFootball that Dortmund deserve to win more than Real Madrid.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be honest, I really hope that Borussia Dortmund will win the UCL final. They deserve it more than Real Madrid.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you see that players like Kroos, Nacho, Carvajal and Modric won 5 trophies of the UCL it is a bit unfair, because these players are not even close to being the best in their positions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis shows that trophies can be misleading. I can name 10 players in the same positions that are better than these footballers,\u201d Mikel Obi said.<\/p>\n
