Enyeama, Yobo makes Musa’s ultimate 11

Musa's dream team features a formidable defense, starting with Super Eagles goalkeeping legend Vincent Enyeama between the posts. 

The backline consists of Taye Taiwo, Kenneth Omeruo, Joseph Yobo, and Shehu Abdullahi, forming a solid wall in front of Enyeama.

Midfield maestro John Obi Mikel wais picked by Ahmed Musa alongside former Fulham man Dickson Etuhu in the centre of the pitch to provide grit and balance a strong foundation for the attack. 

Musa's attacking lineup is packed with pace and skill, featuring Emmanuel Emenike as the lead striker, supported by the dynamic trio of Osaze Odemwingie, Obafemi Martins, and Victor Moses.

Unfortunately, there was no space in Musa’s 11 for the current crop of Super Eagles stars like Victor Osimhen, Stanley Nwabali and Ademola Lookman despite the impressive showings they have had in recent times.
