Real blitz Marseille to open in style

TWO goals from Ronaldo and one apiece from Roberto Carlos and Luis Figo allowed Real Madrid to come from a goal down to claim a 4-2 win over Olympique Marseille in their opening Champions League Group F match at the Bernabeu last night.

Marseille took a shock lead on 26 minutes when striker Didier Drogba found himself in space after collecting a pass from fellow forward Mido and rifled a powerful shot past Real keeper Iker Casillas.

But the French side barely had time to finish their celebrations before Real were back on level terms after left back Roberto Carlos cracked a volley hard into the ground and over the head of keeper Vedran Runje.
