Paris Saint-Germain, seeking a fourth straight French Cup, were drawn on Thursday against their bitter rivals and closest challengers in Ligue 1, Marseille, in this year's quarterfinals.
This edition of the French "clasico" is also a repeat of the 2016 final which PSG won, 4-2.
It also means that the two clubs will meet twice in a few days. Marseille visit Paris in Ligue 1 on February 25 and now must return for the cup game two or three days later.
In the only other quarterfinal matching two Ligue 1 clubs Lyon, were drawn way to Caen.
Les Herbiers, from the third division, will play at home to second-division Lens.
The other quarterfinal will pit another third-division club, Chambly, against the winner of Thursday night's game between third-division Grenoble and Ligue 1 Strasbourg.
