Olympique Marseille striker Jordan Ayew has described Wednesday night�s 1-0 home defeat to Olympiacos in the Uefa Champions League as �a big opportunity missed�. The 19-year-old was replaced after 61 minutes in the side which under-performed in front of their home fans. A win could have sent Didier Deschamps� side through to the last 16 stage but must now defeat Borussia Dortmund next month to advance. �We have missed a big opportunity because even a draw would have virtually taken us through,� Ayew said. The teenager who has had more playing time this season and impressed admits their qualification is in jeopardy. �Borussia Dortmund lost to Arsenal so now it�s going to be very tense because Olympiacos have six points and everyone has a chance to qualify. We are going to have to go to Dortmund and win,� he said. �I honestly don�t know why we underperformed. I felt like everything was going well. There�s a great atmosphere in the team, everyone laughs and gets on well together. �We all really wanted to get three points after losing at Montpellier. But we didn�t do the business. �Now we have to pick ourselves up for Sunday because that�s not going to be easy game.�
