Alex Iwobi Takes Drastic Step Following AFCON Final Criticism
Super Eagles midfielder, Alex Iwobi, has taken a significant action on his official Instagram page, removing all photos in response to the widespread criticism he faced for his performance in the 2023 African Cup of Nations final against Côte D'Ivoire.
After Nigeria's 2-1 loss to Ivory Coast in the final, Iwobi, a former Arsenal midfielder, found himself among the players receiving backlash for their role in the defeat. The host nation secured victory with second-half goals from Frank Kessie and Sebastian Haller.
Despite featuring for 79 minutes, Iwobi and the Eagles failed to secure their fourth AFCON championship. The Fulham midfielder's performance during the final became a focal point for criticism.
Interestingly, amidst the backlash, some Super Eagles players have stepped up to defend their teammate, Alex Iwobi, in the face of public scrutiny.
