Fairytale for coach Anigo
MARSEILLE VIEW
Marseille coach Jose Anigo
Marseille coach Jose Anigo was understandably delighted after his side reached the Uefa Cup final with a 2-0 aggregate win over Newcastle.

Anigo only took over at the helm in January - when he replaced the sacked Alain Perrin - and he admitted: "It is a fairytale for me.

"We are unbeaten in eight matches in this competition and we are going to Gothenburg to win. It is a dream."

His side will now meet Valencia, who beat Villarreal 1-0 on aggregate.

Anigo added: "The whole city is going to celebrate tonight.

"Everyone can take pleasure from this enormous win.

"Three months ago I was coaching the youth team and now we are in a European final.

"We will do everything to bring the Uefa Cup to Marseille. We are living a dream."

Marseille striker Didier Drogba sealed the win for the French side with a double against Newcastle.

And he stated: "We played a massive game tonight and we stayed solid together.

"We knew it would be hard but I am so happy I could score after missing some chances in the first leg."
