Liverpool lose 2-1 (3-2 on aggregate) to Olympique Marseille at the Stade Velodrome, Marseille.
Quite a good match, marred by a bad penalty call by the Spanish referee giving OM the first goal from a penalty kick. Yes, Igor Biscan probably deserved a red card but certainly the penalty shouldn't have been given (and the Spanish commentators agreed with partisan me).
Frustrating. One wonders with all the talent on the Liverpool side whether it might be time for Gerard Houllier to leave. I have been one of his staunchest supporters but they have rarely performed to expectations since that great 2001 season.
Now I only have a 4th place finish in the Premier League for which to hope.
