Marseille manager Didier Deschamps believes that his team have a "good chance" of beating Inter Milan and advancing to the Champions League quarter-final stage.

A last-minute header from Andre Ayew has put Les Phoceens in the driving seat ahead of the return leg at the San Siro tonight.

Despite the one-goal advantage, Deschamps has said that the Nerazzurri are still favourites to progress.

"It is clear that after the first leg there is a small advantage, but Inter remains the favourite," said the 43-year-old. "I do not expect an easy time. However, we have nothing to lose and I think there is still a good chance we can qualify.

"We must be able to resist it, but not only that, we need to play too. If we are fortunate enough to score a goal then it will become much more complicated for Inter.

"The big difference between the sides is that we have two results that qualify us while Inter only has one. They are obliged to win."

Marseille are currently eighth in Ligue 1.
