Nigeria midfielder John Obi Mikel 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 surrendered possession with a wayward pass and Chelsea’s defenders failed to respond as Claudio Marchisio played Fabio Quagliarella into space for the equaliser.
