Moses and Mikel enjoyed a successful time at both the international and club level. The two played for Chelsea, winning the Europa League in 2013. They also won the AFCON with the Super Eagles and played at the 2014 and 2018 World Cups. 

However, they never won the Premier League together, even though both won it at Chelsea. 

Mikel won two Premier League titles at Chelsea, but it came under Jose Mourinho and Carlo Ancelotti. Meanwhile, Moses won his Premier League title under Antonio Conte.
