Watch: Didier Drogba confronts opposing fans after Montreal Impact defeat

They must have said something he *really* didn't like

Didier Drogba has had better Saturdays.

Hours after watching former club Chelsea get rolled over at the Emirates, the Ivorian was on the wrong end of the result with his current team on the other side of the Atlantic.

Montreal Impact went down by a single goal against New York Red Bulls – enough for the energy drink-named club to book their spot in the MLS playoffs.

After the match, 38-year-old Drogba was seen confronting a couple of Red Bull fans as he made his way off the field.

While the exchange doesn’t get anywhere near the level of the Eric Cantona at Selhurst Park episode, security had to intervene as Drogba approached the fans.

Aside from the word “hey” being yelled around 3,000 times in the clip below, it’s impossible to make out exactly what else is being said.

Drogba eventually disappears out of sight,

Reports later claimed that Drogba had been angered by the ‘disrespect’ shown by the fans, but avoided going into too much detail when asked about the incident later on.

“They crossed the line a bit, that’s all,” he said.

The Impact now sit fifth in MLS’s Eastern Conference with three games left to play.
