Paris Saint-Germain saw their 43-match winning run in domestic cup competitions come to an end as Thomas Tuchel's men suffered a shock 2-1 home defeat by Ligue 1 bottom club Guingamp in the French League Cup quarter-finals.
The visitors were awarded three penalties at the Parc des Princes in a dramatic second half, as PSG failed in their bid for a sixth straight League Cup title.
It was only a second defeat in all competitions this season for the capital club, after a 3-2 loss to Liverpool at Anfield in the Champions League last September. Guingamp, who have won just two league games all season, join Monaco, Strasbourg and Bordeaux in the semi-finals.
"We came here to win and we know it's very difficult here," said Marcus Thuram, the son of 1998 World Cup winner Lilian Thuram, who scored the winner.
"We know that in the Cup anything can happen... We knew how to hinder PSG."
"It's very hard to lose with three penalties. I was angry with the second one, I can see the VAR 100 times, it's not a penalty."

"Finally we reacted after conceding a goal. Before we didn't know how to do it. This time, we did."
