[VIDEO] Alex Iwobi Jokes About Calvin Bassey’s Miss vs Burnley

Alex Iwobi hilariously mocks Calvin Bassey’s missed chance, joking the ball beat them to AFCON.

Super Eagles star Alex Iwobi couldn’t resist poking fun at Calvin Bassey after the Fulham defender missed a crucial opportunity in their 3-2 Premier League win over Burnley.

Iwobi quipped:

“He took an extra touch and I thought, blood of Jesus, where is this ball gonna go? Darling, hold my hand, nothing beats a Jet2 holiday.”

Adding to the humour, he said:

“The ball has gone to AFCON. That ball has reached AFCON before us.”

Looks like even the ball is AFCON-ready before the Super Eagles!

The lighthearted banter between the teammates comes as both players prepare to join the Super Eagles camp in Cairo ahead of AFCON 2025.
