Osimhen was ranked number 8 in the 2023 Ballon d’Or award held in Paris, France last recently, becoming the first Nigerian to make the top ten of the Ballon d’Or.

Speaking with Osimhen on ‘Obi One Podcast’ on monday, Mikel said he thought he was the most decorated Nigerian player, but Osimhen has beaten him to that record, hitting a new milestone in the world.

“I’m jealous, I never got to that stage,” Mikel declared. “I thought I was the most decorated Nigerian player.”
“Jay Jay, Kanu never got there but you made it. It is amazing for us.
‘To be number 8th in the world is a unique milestone. Thank you for raising the bar.”

Osimhen became one of the few Nigerians to be nominated for the Ballon d’Or and went a step further by making the top ten.
