Nerazzuri beaten in Marseille (Ol. Marseille 1 - Inter 0)
MARSEILLE - The Nerazzurri couldn't find a way past Marseille at the Vélodrome. After keeping the French outfit at bay in the opening period, Didier Drogba stunned Inter two minutes into the second half with the only goal of the game when he took on Cordoba then from close range blasted a left-footed shot past Fontana.
Marseille's 1-0 victory means Inter need to score at least twice at the San Siro next Wednesday to progress to the Uefa Cup last four.
In the meantime, Inter play away to Perugia in Week 29 of the Serie A championship on Easter Day.
