The dramatic finale to the clash between Benfica and Real Madrid turned into a real tragedy for Marseille fans.
Details: A video has gone viral on social media showing one of the devoted supporters of the French club smashing his television to pieces. The reason for such an emotional outburst was the unbelievable last-second goal scored by Benfica's goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin.
For Marseille supporters, this goal was a dagger to the heart, as it finally ended their team's hopes of advancing in the Champions League. The Provençals had been counting on a Benfica slip-up to sneak into the playoffs, but the Ukrainian goalkeeper's dramatic foray into the opponent's box dashed the French club's European ambitions.
As a result, it was Benfica, not Marseille, who clinched the final qualifying spot.
Reminder: In Bruges, Marseille were congratulated on reaching the playoffs even before the Benfica match had ended.
