Barcelona's players celebrate a goal against Sporting during their Champions League soccer match at Alvalade stadium in Lisbon November 26, 2008.

Panathinaikos scored a shock winner against Inter on 69 minutes when Josu Sarriegi pounced from close range after Giannia Goumas' header had been parried by Julio Cruz. Inter had its best chance in the 11th when Adriano hit the post on a sharply angled shot.

They created little else afterwards until the final minutes when coach Jose Mourinho had four strikers on the field and his team laid siege to the Panathinaikos goal.

The loss left Mourinho fuming although they still progressed with eight points, one more than Panathinaikos and two clear of Anorthosis, who squandered a 2-0 lead at home to draw 2-2 with Werder Bremen.

"Panathinaikos deserves this win and we deserved to lose," said Mourinho.

"We played a slow game and in the first half basically didn't create anything. We didn't fight for the lose balls. I think the players were tired, that's the explanation I prefer."

The unlikely win put Panathinaikos in a better position for a knockout stage slot as they need only a draw in their final game against Anorthosis Famagusta in Athens.

Liverpool only rode their luck to advance as Marseille dominated possession for long periods but were made to pay for a atemporary reprieve.
