    Time:90'
    • AC Milan
    • Olympique Marseille
    • - And elsewhere in Group C, Real have beaten FC Zurich 1-0. Qualification will go to the final week!!
    • 90'+4 It's all over!! It ends 1-1 at the San Siro!!
    • 90'+3 And Dida claims at the second attempt. Heart in mouth time for the Milan faithful.
    • 90'+3 We're in the last minute and Marseille have a corner. This must be the last chance!
    • 90'+2 Time is running out at the San Siro. Both teams have come within a whisker of a winner.
    • 90' There'll be three minutes of time added on as Dida claims a lofted ball, clearing all before him.
    • 88' That's close too. Thiago just gets ahead of Ben Arfa.
    • 86' GREAT CHANCE FOR MARSEILLE!! Diawara's header hits the post!! So close!!
    • 85' Sub for Marseille. Fernando Morientes is on for Cheyrou.
    • 85' Straight up the other end...and great work by Abate denies Marseille.
    • 84' Pato again. Finds Borriello. There appears to be no way through, but Ronaldinho delivers!! Pato just fails to get his head on it and the ball squirms wide!!
    • 82' OOOH! SO CLOSE!!! Ronaldinho with a great cross.. finds the unmarked Borriello WHO HEADS WIDE!! No wonder he holds his head!! Superb chance!!
    • 82' Pato tries to gets a cross in..out flicks a Marseille leg and it's safely with Mandanda.
    • 81' we're in the last nine minutes. Still 1-1.
    • 80' Marseille pick it up on the halfway line. Long cross from Bonnart...it takes a deflection and loops just over Dida's bar! Corner!
    • 79' Ben Arfa hits the deck and l'OM have a free kick just inside the Milan half. It's launched into the box and goes all the way through to Dida.
    • 78' Good ball by Borriello looking for Ronaldinho. Hefty back pass there but Mandanda coped well and clears his lines.
    • 77' Terrible free kick. Thumped straight to Steve Mandanda!
    • 76' But Brandao is penalised. Free kick to Milan.
    • 76' Wasted delivery by the Rossoneri. It's a Marseille throw.
    • 75' Abriel with a half-chance! Twists and turns in the Milan box but smashes the ball over!
    • 74' Interesting change by Deschamps. Can Ben Arfa carry on where Niang left off?
    • 73' Punched clear by Mandanda and that's the last of Niang. He's run himself into the ground and is replaced by Hatem Ben Arfa.
    • 72' Dida launches it long. Pato to Ronaldinho and it's a corner to Milan as he urges the crowd to make more noise!
    • 71' Niang again. What a player the man is! He's eventually crowded out, but it's all going through him!
    • 70' Borriello with a speculative effort. He wants handball against Diawara, but the Marseille man had no chance of getting out of the way. Play on.
    • 68' Marseille win a throw. Heinz's clearance is charged down by Borriello, but that's out for another throw to l'OM.
    • 67' Hoofed clear by Marseille. Niang again looking to make inroads...robbed by Abate and Seedorf has it.
    • 66' What a let-off for Milan. They should be 2-1 down as Lucho comes off and Bakari Kone comes on for Marseille.
    • 64' Heinze now for Marseille. Finds Niang!! Great ball across the box and Brandao has hit the bar!! That should have been in!!
    • 63' Ambrosini now attacking the Marseille defence and he's won a corner. Too long and it's all the way out for a Marseille throw.
    • 62' Milan are begining to turn the screw at the San Siro.
    • 61' Great back heel by Ronaldinho to Borriello but the Milan man scuffs his shot wide. Good chance!
    • 59' That yellow card means that Zambrotta will miss the next match.
    • 58' Good run by Abate. Deep cross...too deep for Ronaldinho. he wins it back, tries to find Zambrotta WHO GOES DOWN IN THE BOX under Diawara's challenge!! Penalty? No, says Mr Webb and he books Zambrotta for diving!
    • 58' Lyon have a throw. Again it comes to Cheyrou and that'a nother poor effort! He seems to have left his shooting boots at home today!
    • 56' Abate takes it. Finds Pato who blasts the ball from way out! Great effort but wide of Mandanda's goal.
    • 55' Milan have it down the Marseille right. Finds Pato...to Alessandro Nesta, his cross is blocked and that's a throw.
    • 53' It's played along the edge of the box to the unmarked Cheyrou who swings and misses completely!! Complete air shot!!
    • 52' Now it's Niang on the ground after an accidental boot in the head by Abate. Free kick Marseille.
    • 51' Milan still on the attack. They're trying to find a way through. The ball comes in and Mandanda gathers.
    • 50' Taken short. Seedorf crosses and Borriello just fails to get on the end of it!
    • 50' Finally taken and it flies off the wall for a corner.
    • 49' And Mr Webb's not happy with the wall.
    • 48' And now Milan have won a free kick. That was soft Mr Webb! Pato fell like a sack of spuds and it's central around 25 yards out. Great chance for Milan.
    • 47' Free kick to Marseille, right by the touch line midway in the Milan half. It's cleared and Milan come away.
    • 46' Early chance for Benoit Cheyrou. He finds himself free some 25 yards out, but that's well wide. Maybe that's a sighter!
    • 46' And we're underway.
    • - And here come the teams for the second half.
    • - Catch up on events at the Bernabeu - Real v Zurich here!
    • 45'+4 And that's the last action of the half. It's poised for a great second half at Milan 1 Marseille 1.
    • 45'+3 In it comes. Mandanda fumbles it, he chases after it with Thiago Silva in hot pursuit! It's the Milan man who wins out, but his shot flies well over the bar!!
    • 45'+2 Ronaldinho with the run. Diawara gives away the corner.
    • 45'+1 And we're in the first of four minutes of time added on.
    • 45' Free kick against Borriello. He felt that Souleymane Diawara was the offender, but it's Marseille's ball.
    • 44' But the Rossoneri win it back. They have acres of space at the back to spray the ball around.
    • 43' Milan with possession. Lofted ball looking for Zambrotta...just offside. Good decision by the assistant.
    • 42' Lucho now looking for a way through...can't find the pass and Niang is flagged for offside as the ball comes back in.
    • 40' Great run by Pato. Attacks the Marseille left, but he's bundled off the ball. Good tackle.
    • 39' And Marseille have won a free kick midway in the Milan half. That's fallen short and it eventually goes out for a Milan goal kick.
    • 37' Poor pass by Milan. Marseille break..Lucho finds Niang who looks for Heinz but Pirlo just cuts it out!!
    • 35' Ten minutes of normal time left in this half. The stats show that Marseille have had more than 60% of the possession so far!
    • 34' And now Ambrosini goes into the book for a high foot on Lucho.
    • 33' And they've won a free kick in a good position. Pirlo takes it! But that's well wide. Leonardo won't be happy with that!
    • 32' Great interchange of passes by Marseille. They threaded some six pases together and cut through the Milan midfield. Too bad theh final ball wasn't up to the same standard. Goal kick Milan.
    • 31' Good play there by Heinze. Alexandre Pato looked odds-on to win the ball but the Argentinian does well to shepherd the ball out for a goal kick.
    • 30' Foul in the centre circle right in front of Howard Webb. Edouard Cisse goes down and it's a free kick to Marseille.
    • 29' And we're underway again. Mandanda is fit to continue.
    • 28' Yep! Massimo Oddo is off and Ignazio Abate is on for Milan.
    • 27' We're still waiting to see if theh Marseille keeper can carry on and meanwhile Milan seem to be lining up a sub of their own!
    • 25' And l'OM stopper Mandanda has hurt himself in that challenge. Elinton Andrade waits in the wings.
    • 24' End to end stuff at the San Siro. Borriello is put through with a great lofted pass!! He's one-on-one with Mandanda but the keeper pulls off a great save at his feet!! So close to a second for Milan!!
    • 23' Good play by Seedorf. There seemed no way through but he somehow found Zambrotta who was robbed just in time by the Marseille defence.
    • 22' Niang takes on Massimo Oddo but the Italian wins out this time.
    • 21' Ronaldinho with itall. We haven't heard much from the Brazilian so far and that's a poor ball.
    • 20' Marseille's tails are up and they're taking the game to the Rossoneri!
    • 18' Marseille have hit back within six minutes and that's another great effort from Abriel who fires narrowly over Dida's bar from way out!
