10 Games That Were Definitely "Bigger" Than Newcastle Vs. West Ham

3. Marseille Vs. Newcastle (UEFA Cup) - 06/05/2004

The semi finals of the UEFA Cup this time for United who crashed out at the hands of Didier Drogba. Nothing much else. The sides drew 0-0 in the first leg at St James' Park with the would-be Chelsea legend taking the game away from Sir Bobby Robson and the travelling Toon Army in the second. The first goal would come via a sweeping counter attack that left Aaron Hughes bamboozled while his second was powered home as a result of a neat set piece routine. Heartbreaking. Yet again, so near yet so far.
