Olympique de Marseille won his match against Stade Rennais (1-0) to reach the knockout stages of the Coupe de France on Friday 20 January.
The last triumph of OM in this test which succeeded so well at a time dates back to 1989 and time is long. But the Marseillais have the right to dream, because they are very solid and the elimination in the Champions League leaves them the energy to lead Ligue 1 and Coupe de France on the front.

Then, the OM managed and then frankly suffered. Deprived of Mandanda, Terrier and Kalimuendo, Rennes courageously tried to return but was not very dangerous until a strike above Assignon after an average outing of Pau Lopez and, above all, a santamaria shooting center on the bar in the last seconds.
“We really wanted to pass and we are satisfied. We made a serious match in a tense game,” said Igor Tudor at a press conference.
