Manchester City midfielder Samir Nasri admits he is enjoying his first serious title battle.

The French ace is relishing being part of the title race after his three seasons at Arsenal without a trophy.

He said: "I play football to play in these types of games, since I was a kid.

"I love football. On Wednesday, when you see the atmosphere, the crowd and the football both teams played - everyone wants to play in this kind of game.

"You have to do something special in this kind of game."
