Fuming supporters chased his car down the road before the 29-year-old came to a halt at a set of traffic lights.
That allowed the mob to catch up and even force one of his car doors open as they vented their frustration to the seven-year PSG veteran.
And while Karim Benzema's second-half hat-trick in the 3-1 win at the Bernabeu is reason for the supporters to be annoyed, there was one slight problem with their outrage.
That being Kurzawa himself wasn't even in the Matchday squad, let alone on the pitch, for the Champions League defeat.

Kurzawa in fact has played just ONE game in all competitions this season - a nine minute cameo in the Super Cup defeat to Lille way back in August.
So he had nothing to do with the circumstances that followed as PSG travelled to the Spanish capital with a 1-0 lead from the first leg.
A first-half Kylian Mbappe strike had put the French outfit well on course for the quarter-finals.
But Mauricio Pochettino's side capitulated in the second half and let their two goal lead slip in sensational style.

It's not only Kurzawa who has felt the wrath of the PSG ultras in the last week though.
In their home game against Bordeaux at the weekend, superstars Lionel Messi and Neymar were BOOED by PSG fans.
As reported by Get French Football News, the pair were met with loud boos and whistles whenever they picked up the ball in the 3-0 win.
The jeers even continued for Neymar after he found the back of the net in the league win at the Parc des Princes.
President Nasser Al-Khelaifi was targeted in the aftermath of the Madrid defeat too, with PSG Ultras demanding for him to be removed from his role.
