In Group, Marseillepiled more pressure on Chelsea's under-fire boss Carlo Ancelotti as a second-half goal from Brandao brought their unbeaten Champions League run to an end.
Having already won Group F, the Blues were lethargic and passionless despite Ancelotti’s call for a return to the free-flowing football they produced at the start of the season.
