I hope it’s the start of a great adventure in the final sprint.”Marseille ended a club-record string of seven straight defeats with a 1-1 draw at Mediterranean rivals Nice, ahead of the visit of in-form Bayern Munich for the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinal on Wednesday.OM made the breakthrough, with Andre Ayew crisply tucking away Cesar Azpilicueta’s cut-back in the 56th minute to end a Ligue 1 goal drought stretching back to December 2.But their lead lasted less than 20 minutes, as Fabian Monzon drilled in his sixth penalty of the season to level the scores after Esmael Goncalves was tripped by Rod Fanni.
