Sevilla coach Jorge Sampaoli is delighted with the impact of on-loan Manchester City midfielder Samir Nasri.
Despite defeat to Athletic Bilbao, Sampaolo hailed the performance of Nasri.
"Nasri has produced a huge game, up to his qualities, and he will bring us a lot this season.
"He became the team's guide and we are very excited that he brings this quality to the team when it is most needed," said Sampaoli.
Nasri is on-loan at Sevilla to the end of the season.
