Iwobi Targets PSG Downfall

By Augustine Akhilomen
Super Eagles midfielder, Alex Iwobi will be seeking for another Champions League experience as Arsenal face PSG at the Paris Stadium on Tuesday
The two teams are hoping to begin their campaign on a winning note in a bid to have a stronghold of the group. At the weekend, the Gunners had to rely on a last minute penalty to defeat Southampton 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium in the EPLwhile Les Parisiens managed a 1-1 draw at home against Saint Etienne in Ligue 1.
Despite starting a few of the Arsenal’s game from the bench, Iwobi will be craving for a starting shirt in a bid to convince Arsene Wenger of his capability of shining against bigger teams.
The young Nigerian international, played an integral part in the team despite their ouster from the round of 16 last season.
Meanwhile, PSG will be banking on players such as Angel Di Maria, Edinson Cavani, Lucas Moura and Marco Verrati for goals while Arsenal will rely on Oliveir Giroud, Santo Cazorla, Metsut Ozil and Theo Walcott to shoulder the goal responsibilities.
