Ironic, that when it was heard that Paris St-Germain would face Kyiv and Marseille face Doneskt, that the French media was quick to predict local teams to meet in semi-finals. Marseille vs. Paris, having the biggest club rivalry in France, For many it looked to be a French duel determining who'd proceed to the finals. Instead, now both eliminated, it is rivals of Ukraine, Shakhtar Donetsk and Dynamo Kyiv that will continue their journey, proceeding to the semi-finals. The Irony of Football.
