In the fifth round of the Champions League early this morning, Marseille defeated Newcastle 2-1 at home. "L'Equipe" stated that Marseille ended its embarrassing 17-game losing streak against the four major European league teams in the Champions League.

"Team" pointed out that the last time Marseille defeated a team from the four major European leagues (Premier League, Serie A, La Liga, and Bundesliga) in the Champions League was on February 22, 2012. At that time, Marseille defeated the Serie A team Inter Milan 1-0 at home in the first leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals. The goal was Andre Ayew. Since then, Marseille has lost 17 consecutive games against the four major European league teams in the Champions League.
