The former Juventus boss feels fortune was never far away against the German champions as he reflects on decent win in Europe's elite competition.Marseille coach Didier Deschamps believes his side enjoyed a huge slice of luck after beating Borussia Dortmund 3-0 in their Champions League Group F clash on Wednesday night.Two goals from Andre Ayew, one of which was a penalty, and a strike from Loic Remy put the sword to the Germans as Marseille top the group with two wins in as many games.Despite the convincing result, Deschamps is aware it was far from being a one-sided affair. "It's good to have so many points already. Now we have a double header against Arsenal, who would have been the group favourites after the draw was made," Deschamps was quoted as saying by uefa.com. "We're happy tonight because we beat a good team. We had some luck both in attack and defence. "There are times when your opponents are unlucky. Maybe they hit a post or the goalkeeper prevents them from scoring. "We had that luck on our side tonight. That hasn't always been the case so far this season."Marseille will now turn the focus on Ligue 1 matters when they welcome Brest to the Stade Velodrome on Sunday.?
