Barcelona will host the Serie A giants in the first leg at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys on Wednesday.
The reverse fixture will hold in San Siro next week.
“It is tough because Inter are good, defensively they are very good,” Iwobi stated this during an interview with UEFA’s UCL Off Pitch episode
“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.”
