Published: June 25, 2018

Super Eagles striker Alex Iwobi is confident heading into the national team's final Group D World Cup fixture against Argentina on Tuesday evening.

With two goals in his last game against the South Americans in a friendly in Krasnodar last November coupled with the win over Iceland, the Arsenal starlet holds no fear for the Argentina side that contains the likes of Lionel Messi, Nicolás Otamendi, Javier Mascherano and Gonzalo Higuaín.

''It has always been my dream to play at the biggest stage in the world and no stage is bigger than the World Cup. So I am happy to be here representing my country and it’s an honour,'' said Iwobi to AOIFootball.com

''We are very confident, especially after a great result against Iceland.

''We are very confident and motivated so we are preparing well and hope to get a good result against Argentina as well.''

Iwobi made his World Cup debut against Croatia on June 16 and was a late substitute in the 2-0 win over Iceland three days ago.
