the Olympians held in check by the resident of Ligue 2… Follow the quarter-final of the Coupe de France

The Marseillais want to raise their heads. Three days after being swept away at home against PSG (0-3) and a very great Kylian Mbappé, Olympique de Marseille welcomes Annecy, Wednesday March 1 (9 p.m.) in the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France. For Igor Tudor and his family, the mission is clear: bounce back against an opponent of a lower level.

Especially since Annecy, 10th in Ligue 2, remains on a scathing defeat (5-1) at Sochaux. After eliminating their great Parisian rival (2-1) in the previous round, the Phocaeans have a clear field to afford their 11th Coupe de France. “The Coupe de France is an important competition that we want to win.” Igor Tudor wasn’t hiding either. But before dreaming of an 11th title, the Marseillais will have to reach the last four.
