Marcelo Brozovic is SHOVED by his own teammate after appearing to incite a spat with fellow Al-Nassr star and ex-Man City defender Aymeric Laporte BEFORE the side’s Asian Champions League win

Marcelo Brozovic was involved in a heated dispute with his teammate, former Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte, ahead of Al-Nassr’s Asian Champions League clash on Wednesday.

The Croatian was caught on camera saying something to Laporte, while another teammate, Ali Lajami, acted as a peacemaker pushing the midfielder.

Brozovic then turned around, forcing a staff member to stand between him and Lajami to prevent emotions from boiling over.

The former Inter Milan star joined the Saudi club last summer, along with Laporte, who left the Etihad after their treble.

Al-Nassr was looking to advance to the quarterfinals against Al-Fayha, also from the Saudi Pro League.

The team led by Cristiano Ronaldo entered the tie with a one-goal advantage and managed to save the pass thanks to the goals of the forward and fellow Portuguese Otávio.

Seven points behind Saudi Pro League leaders Al-Hilal, the Champions League gives them the chance to win much-needed trophies and would qualify them for the Club World Cup.
