Other Competitions
After beating Stade Briochin and SCO Angers respectively in their midweek Coupe de France quarterfinals, Paris Saint-Germain and Stade de Reims have been kept apart in the semifinal draw and could meet again for a third time in the final in May.
PSG Look to stay unbeaten domestically
After an impressive 7-0 win on Wednesday, the capital side have been drawn against upset specialists Dunkerque in the semifinals. Currently third in Ligue 2 BKT, the northern side, who have never played in France's top flight and have reached their first Coupe de France semifinal in nearly 100 years, have proved a dangerous opponent to date in the competition. After knocking out AJ Auxerre in the Round of 64 in early January, they've continued to impress in subsequent rounds, eliminating LOSC Lille on penalties in the Round of 16 before coming from two goals down to beat Stade Brestois yesterday.
As for the capital side, they'll head north to take on Les Maritimes in early April with the aim of continuing an irresistible run of form. With 25 goals scored in their last six matches in all competitions, Luis Enrique has his side clicking on all cylinders ahead of big matches against LOSC Lille in the league this weekend and Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League next week.

Reims look for first major honors in more than sixty YEARS
As for Reims, after newly-installed manager Samba Diawara helped lead them over Angers SCO in the week, netting sealing their progress on penalties, their reward will be a clash with AS Cannes. Looking for a first major trophy since the 1960s, the Champagne side will square off against a team from the fourth tier with a spot in the final on the line. Reims will have to be wary, though -- Cannes made short work of Guingamp (fifth in Ligue 2 BKT) in the week, and had beaten another second division side, Grenoble Foot, in the Round of 64, making Reims' trip south a potentially tricky one.
