While predicting the possible outcome of the eagerly anticipated encounter, Iwobi said, “It is tough because Inter are good, defensively they are very good.
“And Lautaro Martinez is a very good focal point. I am going to go Barcelona because the way they attack is scary.
“It is free-flowing football, very attacking. They got exciting wingers in Raphinha and Lamine Yamal, even players coming off the bench like Ferran Torres and Dani Olmo.
“Going forward they are very creative and an exciting team to watch.
“So any defense, it is going to be a problem for them to contain those players.”
