Nigeria midfielder Obiora: Benitez was dearest to my heart at Inter Milan

Boavista midfielder Nwankwo Obiora has picked his Champions League debut against Tottenham Hotspur as his most special memory at Inter Milan.

Obiora came on as a 53rd-minute substitute for Ghana’s Sulley Muntari in the encounter that ended 3-1 against the Serie A visitors.
