However, Sergio Ramos equalized for PSG just before half-time. Despite close calls from Lionel Messi and Neymar, Marseille held on for their first home win against PSG since 2011.

This marks PSG’s second early exit in the Cup after their last-16 loss to Nice last season.

Marseille, now favorites to win the trophy for the first time since 1989, will move on to the quarter-finals while PSG faces elimination.
