Arsenal star: My big regret from Champions League draw with Paris-Saint-Germain
ALEX IWOBI insists he should have stolen the spoils for Arsenal in Paris last night.

The Gunners managed to earn a point with a late Alexis Sanchez equaliser cancelling out Edinson Cavani’s first minute opener.
But Iwobi regrets not snatching all three points against Paris Saint-Germain in the Group A opener.
“I had the chance to score, but my main focus was to get it on target and also beat the goalkeeper, but it was a good save and I was unfortunate not to get the goal,” Iwobi told Arsenal Player.
“The first chance I had I thought I was going to score [too], but I was just lucky Alexis put it away and I was just happy we were able to get a goal and come back into the game.”
Iwobi came back into the side for the Parc des Princes clash as Arsene Wenger rotated his team following the last-gasp win over Southampton.

And the Nigeria international insists being thrown in at the deep end doesn’t faze hime.
“I treat it game by game, like in the under-23s,” he said. “I take it as it comes and I try to do the best I can. I’m not really fazed by the opponents, I just try to do my thing and try to go for the win.
“I think we performed very well and we got a good point. We fought back and we were able to get a point, we weren’t able to get the second goal which we should have got. I should have got it to be fair, but we were a little bit unlucky."
