Match report: Olympique de Marseille 1 - Milan 2


The group stage of the Champions League started yesterday. Milan's first game was in Marseilles. Below is the important information:
  • Goals scored: Inzaghi 28', Heinze 49', Inzaghi 74'
  • What happened: A terrifying rainstorm...a deranged sea of fans in blue and white chanting and jumping up and down...a Milan goal in the first half on a nice pass from Seedorf to Inzaghi...wave after wave of attacks by Marseille in the second half (including the tying goal)...Milan looking tired and half-full of panic...a completely unexpected and fantastic goal by Milan -- again Seedorf to Inzaghi.
  • What this match teaches us: Seedorf rules one half of the known universe. Inzaghi rules the other half.
