Samir Nasri admits Arsenal capitulated against United in Champions League semi-final

Former Arsenal midfielder Samir Nasri has conceded that the Gunners capitulated against Manchester United in the semi-finals of the Champions League back in 2009.

After winning the first leg by a single goal, Sir Alex Ferguson side blew away Arsenal in the second leg (winning 3-1) to book their place in the final.

Nasri, who was in the Arsenal team that night, has admitted that Arsenal ‘sh*t themselves’ against a Cristiano Ronaldo inspired United. That was clear to anyone watching the match.

In an interview with ZackNaniProd, as quoted by the Daily Mail, Nasri said: “It was the first time I’d seen the Emirates with such a crazy atmosphere, you had flags everywhere and all.

“When you go into a match with shivers down your spine, you can feel you’re going to have a great game.

“And we sh*t ourselves. We sh*t ourselves, and we came up against a great Cristiano Ronaldo.”
