Samir Nasri almost did not comment on Olympique Marseille’s match against Brighton on Thursday in the Europa League.
It was evening of discovery for Samir Nasri, Thursday. Two days after officiating alongside Hervé Mathoux and Laure Boulleau on the set of the Canal Champions Club relocated to Bollaert for the clash between RC Lens and Arsenal, the former French international indeed tried his hand at commentary on the occasion of the Europa League match between Olympique de Marseille and Brighton.
But the former Citizen almost stood out by his absence alongside David Berger. The native of Marseille also arrived at his commentary desk four minutes late. The fault of the traffic jams in the Marseille city. “It was a real journey, I was really surprised by the traffic even though I am from Marseille. So sorry for the delay,” he explained.

As he then explained during the break, Samir Nasri had nevertheless taken precautions by leaving home at 4:30 p.m. But the traffic jams were such that he found himself completely stuck. So much so that he finally decided to leave the vehicle his sister was driving to stop a scooter and ask her to take him to the stadium. Recognized by the driver, the former playmaker was able to arrive safely before rushing into the commentators’ post. However, the journey was not made in complete safety since the Marseillais had to make the journey without a helmet…
Samir Nasri was not the only one to arrive late at the Vélodrome since the stands sounded hollow at kick-off before filling up as the minutes passed. But some supporters only finally arrived at half-time, only witnessing the collapse of Gennaro Gattuso’s men in the second half.
