Bordeaux seize advantage against Olympiakos

ATHENS: Bordeaux took a big step towards the Champions League quarterfinals after beating Greek champions Olympiakos 1-0 in the first leg of their last-16 clash here on Tuesday.

"We're happy to score away from home, perhaps we could have scored a second but at least we got the victory," Bordeaux coach Laurent Blanc said after the game.

"There are only a handful of clubs that have the experience of playing in the Champions League quarterfinals. Experience comes by playing matches," he said.
