Tottenham Hotspur play the Champions League final next week.
Arsenal winger Alex Iwobi has told a press conference, as shown by Hayters, that he wants Tottenham Hotspur to lose their Champions League final clash with Liverpool.
Spurs somehow forced their way into the final, coming from 3-0 down to Ajax on aggregate with just 45 minutes left, scoring three second half goals to advance.
Tottenham meet Liverpool in the final in Madrid a week on Saturday, just days after Arsenal face Chelsea in the Europa League final.
It’s remarkable that four English clubs have made it to the finals of the two major European club competitions, and especially that rivals Arsenal and Tottenham are in the mix.
Arsenal have enjoyed a fine run to the final, even though there were scares against BATE Borisov and Rennes, with the win over Napoli particularly impressive.
Arsenal will be hoping for a dream week by winning the Europa League and seeing rivals Spurs lose their final, and Alex Iwobi has been asked whether the pressure is on the Gunners to win, given that Spurs have an even bigger game to come.
Iwobi admitted that he’s not focusing on Spurs and just hopes they get beat, but did offer an honest verdict on their results and run in the Champions League, acknowledging how well they’ve performed.
“We’re not trying to focus on Tottenham to be fair, I actually hope they lose,” said Iwobi. “We’re no trying to look at them, they’ve done well to be fair, I have to give it to them, but we have to focus on ourselves and bring back the trophy for us,” he added.
