Olympique de Marseille will face Benfica Lisbon in the quarter-final of the Europa League. They will try to eliminate the Portuguese club for the first time, with a first leg on April 11 and return at the Stade Vélodrome on April 18.
The Lisbon giant lost the lead in the Portuguese Championship standings, overtaken by Sporting, and corrected by its great rival FC Porto. Marseille escaped the worst in this draw by avoiding the two favorites, Liverpool, opposed to Atalanta Bergamo, and Bayer Leverkusen who will meet West Ham.
