Samir Nasri has pulled out of working the Champions League final just a day before Saturday's showdown between Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain.
Arsenal and PSG meet in the Champions League final in Budapest to crown Europe's best club team. The Gunners are aiming to win their first major European title, while the French giants are looking to defend their championship after last season's emphatic triumph over Inter Milan.
Both teams enter the game off the back of winning their respective league, with Mikel Arteta's side claiming the club's first Premier League title since 2004.
He's hoping to add the Champions League to this season's trophy haul.

The Champions League final is a mouth-watering contest given how Arsenal and PSG have performed this season.
It will be beamed across Europe and beyond, with TNT Sports broadcasting the match in the UK. Nasri who played for Arsenal for three seasons, was due to be pitchside for French channel Canal+.
But he has removed himself from his punditry role after clashing with PSG fans. Nasri, who also played for Marseille during his career, claims PSG supporters insulted his mother.
He received the abuse when he was working the semi-fina tie between PSG and Bayern Munich.
Speaking to L'Equipe, he revealed: "It's part of the game as a former Marseille player to get insulted by Parisian fans. Even if I think they had other things to do, like celebrating qualifying for the final.
"What bothered me was that they insulted my mother. That's not why I'm not going to Budapest for the final."
Samir Nasri: 'I Don't Have an Extraordinary Relationship With Arsenal Supporters'

Nasri was on hand to provide expert analysis for Arsenal vs PSG given he played in France and England.
He came through the ranks at Marseille — PSG's arch rivals — before breaking into the first-team, where he made over 160 appearances.
Nasri subsequently joined Arsenal for £12 million, linking up with fellow countryman Arsene Wenger. The attacking midfielder played three full seasons at the Emirates before signing for Manchester City in 2011.
His move to Man City soured his relationship with Arsenal fans, with the 38-year-old acknowledging that it's better to have Robert Pires instead of him covering the game.
"It's not the first time I've been insulted in a stadium, and it certainly won't be the last. And if I let it get to me, I'd stop doing TV and I'd stop going to matches," he added.
"It's PSG vs Arsenal, it's better to have Robert Pires, who's a die-hard Gunners fan, and David Ginola, who's a die-hard PSG fan, than someone neutral like me on the panel.
"Arsenal is also my former club, but I don't have an extraordinary relationship with its supporters."
