Samir Nasri

France midfielder Samir Nasri became involved in a row with a French journalist after his side’s Euro 2012 quarter-final defeat by Spain.

The clash occurred in the Donbass Arena after the Manchester City player was asked for his reaction to the result.

Nasri reportedly called the journalist a “son of a bitch” and repeatedly complained about the media’s behaviour.

The 24-year-old, a substitute in the game, added: “There, now you’ll be able to say I’ve been badly brought up.”

“You’re always writing s*** stories about us.”

This is the exchange that followed:

Reporter: “Well get lost, then …”
Nasri: “You tell me to get lost? Come and we’ll sort it out over there. …”
Reporter: “That’s it …”
Nasri: “F*** you, go f*** your mother, you son of a b****. F*** you, that way you can say I’m rude. ”

Two goals from Spain midfielder Xabi Alonso brought an end to France’s campaign in Poland and Ukraine.
