Nigeria midfielder Mikel Obi has apologised for the Champions League blunder that allowed Juventus to snatch a 2-2 draw against holders Chelsea.
With just 10 minutes remaining at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday, Chelsea were on course to open their title defence with a victory after two goals from Brazil midfielder Oscar gave them a 2-1 lead over the Italian champions.
But Mikel carelessly gave the ball away in the build-up to the equalizer and he told Sky Sports after the game, “I think we switched off. It was a pass to Eden (Hazard) that didn’t quite get there and then we just switched off.
“We should have dealt with it properly.”
“If I want to make up an excuse, I can,” Mikel said. “But, for me, I gave the ball away. I put my hands up, we move on.
“I’m sorry about the mistake, but there are no excuses.”
