Samir Nasri ran a gauntlet of abuse from angry Gunners fans as he walked to watch his Manchester City team-mates’ 2-0 win over former club Arsenal at the Emirates.
A video of the suspended Nasri getting abused from vengeful supporters as he headed to the ground for Sunday’s match, flanked by acting body-guard Marouane Chamakh who is currently on loan with West Ham, has appeared on the internet.
The Frenchman is showered with verbal abuse as he makes his way under a concourse approaching the stadium and things almost turn even nastier as one particularly irate fan gets up close and personal.
Fortunately, the man is shepherded away by Chamakh and Nasri makes it into the ground unscathed.
Nasri became a hate-figure amongst the Arsenal faithful following his £25million move to the Etihad in the summer of 2011 and may be wiser to choose a rather more anonymous route of arrival the next time he returns to north London.
