While waiting to know the last qualified club – RC Lens welcomes Paris Saint-Germain this Sunday evening – the draw for the round of 16 of the Coupe de France took place this Sunday at around 8 p.m. Among the big names still in the running: Olympique de Marseille, winner of ASSE (4-0), OL, qualified after their logical victory against Feignies Aulnoye (1-2), resident of N2, or even AS Monaco, which did not tremble to get rid of Union St-Jean (R1), and now hopes to do better than its 1/8th final last year (the Monegasques had been eliminated via Rouen).

A few little thumbs also enjoyed an unexpected break during these 32nd finals. We think in particular of the first two sensations of Friday evening, namely Espaly (N3), slayer of Dijon (N1), and Haguenau (N2), executioner of Boulogne (N1). On Saturday, other amateurs also shook up the hierarchy. Bourgoin-Jallieu (N3) humiliated Martigues (4-1), when Cannes (N2) surprised Grenoble, and Stade Briochin (N2) offered itself Le Havre (1-0). But we must give back to César what belongs to César, and the sensation of these 32nd comes to us from Puy-en-Velay, a National 2 club which literally exploded Montpellier (4-0). As a reminder, the matches in this new round of the Coupe de France will be played on Wednesday January 15.
An OM – Lille shock in the 16th round
For these round of 16, we imagine that Espaly fans must have smiled at the time of the draw. After taking out Dijon, the residents of National 3 will receive the winner of the last 32nd final between Lens and PSG this Sunday evening. For their part, the Marseillais, and even the Lille residents, must have laughed when they discovered that they will meet again, while their last confrontation ended in a draw in the championship, last weekend (1-1) .

Among the leaders of Ligue 1, we find OL, winner of Feignies-Aulnoye in the 32nd, and who this time will have on the menu a derby against one of the last little thumbs of the Coupe de France, FC Bourgoin-Jallieu (N3), winner of Martigues on Saturday. We do not yet know in which venue the match will be played. Monaco, for its part, will travel to Reims, while Brest will meet Nantes, for this third and final duel between Ligue 1 teams. As a reminder, the Finisterians corrected their counterparts in the championship last week (4-1).
