The pain just goes on and on for Rafa's Reds who concede late on at Lyon to put Champions League qualification in serious danger

The heartbreak continues for Liverpool.

Needing a win to wrest some much-needed control over their Champions League qualification hopes, the Reds managed to conjure a last-minute wonder goal away to Lyon only to concede at the very death to hand back that hard-fought advantage.

They are now five points behind Fiorentina - 5-2 winners at home to Debrecen - and six back from group leaders Lyon with two games to play.

Rafa's men had drifted to [7.0] to win before Ryan Babel unleashed from the edge of the box to finally ignite their Champions league campaign. That strike ensured market collapse and the Reds had come in to [1.11] before Lisandro Lopez blasted past Pepe Reina with just seconds left. The final score of 1-1 was backed at [70.0].

There was a asimilar story for Rangers who looked to have hauled themselves into a nice position in Group G after taking a late lead at Unirea Urziceni .

But like Liverpool, Rangers had to endure late pain when their hosts equalised in the 88th minute. The Scottish champions had been backed at [1.16] to win, while the draw drifted to [8.0].

There were further late goals in the Ukraine where Inter Milan pulled off a dramatic comeback to shcok Dynamo Kiev.

The Italians waited until the 86th minute before levelling and 89th to get a winner. They had been backed at [50.0] to win the game while the final score was backed at [32.0].

Group F has an intriguing look to it following another Barcelona failure against Rubin Kazan. The European champions were embarrassed by the Russians at the Nou Camp two weeks ago, losing 2-1, and were held to a 0-0 draw this time around.

With two games to play Inter head the group on six points with their Spanish and Russian rivals just a point back. Kiev are in last place with four points.
