Nasri said ‘Mesut I love you’ in Arsenal tunnel, Özil didn’t seem to know who he was (Video)

There were plenty of moments that played into the narrative of ‘Premier League as Soap Opera’ from Arsenal’s Tunnel Cam on Monday night.

It was interesting to see who interacted with whom before, during and after Arsenal’s big win over Manchester City.

Arsenal old boy Bacary Sagna got a warm reception from his former teammates, but Samir Nasri’s presence didn’t seem to be as warmly received.

It was hard to spot him as he was so casually dressed but there, standing by the door looking like a back-up member of One Direction, was former Arsenal player Samir Nasri.

As Mesut Ozil went to speak to Vincent Kompany, Nasri called out ‘Mesut….’, along with a little wink.

Surprised, and probably a bit embarrassed that Ozil didn’t come speak to him, Nasri followed up with an unreciprocated ‘I love you….’

Either Ozil simply didn’t recognize him (he does look very different with the blond hair to be fair), or he was deliberately snubbing a player who’s a bit of a pariah among Arsenal fans; Gooners will be hoping it was the latter.
