UEFA Champions League: Super Mario's Quadruple Helps Bayern Destroy Basel; Late Goal Carries Marseille Past Inter

The Round of 16 in the UEFA Champions League continued on Tuesday with two games.


At Munich, Germany:


Mario Gomez 



Mario Gomez delivered four consecutive goals (44', 50', 61', 67', that's Super Mario scoring that final goal here) while Arjen Robben added a pair (10', 81') as Bayern Munich annihilated visiting FC Basel 7-0 in game two and won their two-match series 7-1 on aggregate, more than bouncing back after their game-one defeat in Switzerland.


At Milan, Italy:


Dejan Stankovic 



Brandao scored what proved to be the series-winning goal at 90 minutes as Marseille, despite dropping a 2-1 game-two decision on the road, with the score at 2-2 on aggregate, still ousted Inter Milan due to the away goals rule.  Shown here is a frustrated Dejan Stankovic for the Nerazzurri.
