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.

The show is Solid Gold 1979. The song is "Tusk" by Fleetwood Mac, and the USC marching band has come along just for fun.
