Essien could win two Champions Leagues in a row without ever playing

Michael-Essien in action for Real Madrid
Michael Essien could win a second straight UEFA Champions League title at Real Madrid without playing.
The Ghana midfielder warmed the bench for English side Chelsea when they triumphed over Bayern Munich on penalties.
Essien has since moved to Madrid on loan but he is yet to command a regular place in Jose Mourinho’s set up.
Last Tuesday, he was not named in the squad which beat Manchester United 2-1 at Old Trafford to qualify to the quarter-final of the competition.
However, his versatility can earn him some playing time as Real chase a tenth UEFA Champions League title.
Essien has made 14 appearances for Real Madrid and scored one goal.

Oh Gsn, this is unnecessary soccer news. If you don’t anything to give, take some medicine & stop complain.
What do you call without ever playing?In Chelsea he played against Napoli and in Madrid he played against Manchester city and Ajax.Get ur facts right
Unlike the past, Champions league is a common success wth african players this days.Bt the uncommon success wth mst of african Uefa heroes e.g abedi, yeboah,weah,drogba etc is the african cup.i wil b happy 4 him if he proves otherwise bt am sorry he cnt escape that regret cos he doesnt show any sign of awarenes of the unfortunate fate.I bet if seidu keita can get ghanas supprt in mali he wil make it.
He played agains ajax why this story.this is bad of soccer net
