Play by play
- 93'
Full time. Not how Liverpool imagined it, but they go through to the last 16. In truth they were hanging on for the second half and were lucky to cling on for the points. Atletico won too so they are both through.
- 93'
Nainag crosses, Gerrard nods away. Cheyrou goes down but the ref waves it on. Harsh that.
- 92'
Taiwo chucks one into the area Delap style, and three Marseille players get in each others way.
- 91'
Three minutes added. Both Chelsea and Liverpool hanging on a bit here. Reina nearly caught out as a cross is deflected.

Into the final minute...

Samassa is on for Bonnart.
- 87'
Dossena wins a corner as Liverpool pray for full time.
- 86'
Frank Lampard has beeen sent off in Bordeaux for two yellows.
- 85'
Valbuena clatters into Mascherano in a retaliationary move. Nowt in it though.
- 84'
Kuyt off and Lucas on.
- 83'
Bordeaux have levelled things up against Chelsea.
- 82'
Now some argy bargy here, Niang and Arbeloa shoving each other after Mascherano piled in on Valbuena. Mascherano and Niang carded.
- 81'
How Marseille haven't scored is beyond me. They've been totally dominant in the second period, fashioning some decent chances, they're just lacking that killer touch up front.
- 80'
Another great free kick played into the box, Niang rises for it and nods it a yard wide. Liverpool clinging on at present.
- 78'
Now Carragher manages to turn the ball back to Reina as Ziani rushed through. Kone is off, Valbuena on.
- 77'
Another dangerous situation for Liverpool. Cana's free kick swirls in towards goal but no-one can get a touch to divert it past Reina.
- 76'
Alonso tries to go for the near post with a free kick. Bit pants that.
- 75'
Zubar has another go from 35 yards. And fails. Stop it now fella. Come on. Give it up.
- 74'
Cheyrou gets a free kick as Mascherano slid in.
- 73'
Gerrard's free kick is nodded away by Cana.
- 72'
Benayoun is flagged offside. A bit of pressure relieved though as Torres goes down under a Zubar tackle. Free kick on the left near the corner flag.
- 71'
Ben Arfa runs at the back four, waits for Cheyrou to overlap and plays it in for him but the Marseille midfielder goes down as Kuyt rushed back but is waved up by the ref.
- 70'
Niang does superbly well to cut inside Carragher but Dossena makes up for his near-penalty conceding tackle by blocking his goalbound shot.
- 69'
From the corner, the ball looks like it'll drop for Niang but Kuyt hacks clear even though he's on the floor. Then Taiwo spoils it all by having a go from distance. Liverpool rattled.
- 68'
Ben Arfa whacks it towards the top corner and Reina palms away.
