Play by play
- 94'
It was nearly five! Benayoun teed up Gerrard who blazed over from 18 yards! There's the final whistle. Liverpool win emphatically and go through in second place, behind FC Porto.
- 93'
Liverpool are about to become the first English club to win at Marseilles.
- 92'
Goal! Ryan Babel outpaces Faty again, touches it round Mandanda and slides it into an empty net. Get this, Marseilles 0-4 Liverpool!
- 91'
Two minutes left.
- 91'
The stadium is half empty now and the strains of 'You'll Never Walk Alone' can faintly be heard...
- 90'
Fabio Aurelio gets a yellow for a nasty tackle on Valbuena.
- 89'
Ooh, Babel is rapid, he overtakes Rodriuguez despite the centre half having a ten yard headstart. Sadly, he couldn't pick out Lucas however.
- 88'
Kuyt has been replaced by Lucas but no sign of Gerrard getting a rest. That is Steven Gerrard, Liverpool's top scorer in Europe by the way, with 23 goals.
- 87'
Cisse claims a handball when it was his own miscontrol that meant the chance went begging. ome on Djibril.
- 85'
Mascherano has just fired a wonderful 90-yard ball for Kuyt. He seems fine now.
- 84'
Oh look, Mascherano is back on. Funny that, he looked VERY badly injured a minute ago.
- 83'
Why is Gerrard still on the pitch? Anyone?
- 82'
Hyypia looks very relaxed about the fact he has just raked his studs down his team-mates shin.
- 81'
It's ok, he's on a stretcher now.
- 80'
Mascherano has gone down heavily and is writhing extravagantly. Looks like it was Hyypia who crocked him, trying to block Niang's earlier shot.
- 79'
The only people disappointed by the removal of Torres are the legions of his female fans...
- 78'
Now, a chance for Marseilles, 30 yards out. It is Niang who hits it this time but just like Nasri before him, and countless others before Nasri, the ball flies a million miles wide.
- 77'
As expected, Torres is the one coming off and not only does he get an ovation from the away fans, but Marseilles' supporters also clap him off. Football's the winner.
- 76'
Liverpool are trying to be too cute now, which doesn't suit Kuyt, who gives it away.
- 75'
Looks like Ryan Babel is about to come on, surely for Torres.
- 74'
There really is very little happening you know, I'm not just out the back having a crafty fag.
- 73'
Nasri tries a punt from 40 yards but neglected to get his head over it and it sails harmlessly over the bar.
- 72'
Riise does well to waste a few more seconds with some quality diving. The ref blew straight away.
- 71'
Poor free-kick from Aurelio and Faty clears.
- 70'
Torres takes more punishment - from Rodriguez this time. Come on Rafa, get the pretty boy off!
