Overview
- Quarter-final ties are confirmed: Strasbourg vs Reims (Mar 3, 21:00), Lorient vs Nice (Mar 4, 20:30), Marseille vs Toulouse (Mar 4, 21:00), and Lyon vs Lens (Mar 5, 21:10).
- Broadcast plan: three fixtures air exclusively on beIN Sports, while Lyon–Lens will be co-broadcast by France Télévisions alongside the Qatari network.
- Strasbourg beat Monaco 3-1 to reach the last eight, as Monaco’s coach Sébastien Pocognoli questioned a potential offside on Strasbourg’s second goal and director Thiago Scuro defended the club’s direction.
- Marseille, fresh off a 3-0 win over Rennes, will host Toulouse as Roberto De Zerbi warned that only hungry players will feature and Timothy Weah said a meeting with supporters helped reset the squad’s mentality.
- With PSG already eliminated, Reims are the lone Ligue 2 side left in a field otherwise composed of top-flight clubs, heightening the stakes of the OL–Lens showdown.
