If we already knew the program for the semi-finals of the Coupe de France football, there was however a lack of precision in the table for the last four.
Initially scheduled for February 28, the match counting for the quarter-finals between Paris and Nice was postponed to Wednesday March 13, in particular due to the busy schedule of PSG, which had to play five matches in the space of 20 days.
And it was the club from the capital which won against the Aiglons (3-1).
Luis Enrique's players, who have not reached this stage of the competition for three years, will face Stade Rennais, crowned in 2019 after beating Paris in the final, on Wednesday April 3.
On the other side of the table, Valenciennes, last in Ligue 2, will travel to Lyon a day earlier, on Tuesday April 2, to hope to pursue their dream and taste a Coupe de France final that the northern club has no longer affected for 73 years.
For their part, Alexandre Lacazette's teammates intend to write a new page in the club's history, despite an up-and-down season, in a competition that has eluded them since 2012.

The final of the competition, scheduled for Saturday May 25, will not be able to be held at the Stade de France, as is tradition, due to work for the Olympic Games.
As mentioned in our columns in February and confirmed by the FFF last week, it will take place at the Pierre-Mauroy stadium in Lille.
Toulouse's successor will obtain direct qualification into the Europa League, which will be redistributed to a Ligue 1 club if the winner of the competition qualifies for the European Cup via the championship.
The program for the Coupe de France semi-finals:
Tuesday April 2, 8:45 p.m.:
Lyon-Valenciennes (BeIN Sports 1)
Wednesday April 3, 9:10 p.m.:
Paris-Rennes (BeIN Sports 1, France 3)
