The draw for the Coupe de France quarterfinals has been made and after a round of 16 full of upsets, just four Ligue 1 McDonald's sides remain -- here's what's next for the quartet, with the matches set to be played midweek at the end of February:
The still unbeaten league leaders eased past Le Mans on Tuesday, despite having rotated heavily, and will next face fourth-tier Stade Briochin in a match that comes on the heels of their double-legged tie with Stade Brestois in the Champions League.

The only all-Ligue 1 affair in the quarterfinals sees Angers take on Reims. After an impressive display in beating Strasbourg this week, Le SCO's reward is a date with the Champagne side, who were nervy in beating Bourgoin-Jallieu on penalties. Reims recorded an impressive away win in September when the two last met, and they'll square off again next weekend.
The Bretons will face Les Maritimes after edging Troyes with a last-minute winner by Abdallah Sima. While the lure of a trophy will undoubtedly be strong for Éric Roy's men, it remains to be seen how their focus will be on the back of their Champions League matchup with PSG.
