The Zebrette reached the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup for the first time in the club's history last night.

Bremen beat Milan in the third round on away goals and came past French outfit St Etienne in the last round 3-2 on aggregate.
The ties will be played on April 9 and April 16 with Udinese travelling to Germany first.
Should Udinese go through, they will face Hamburg or Manchester City.
Quarter-final draw:
Hamburg v Manchester City
Paris St Germain v Dynamo Kiev
Shakhtar Donetsk v Marseille

Semi-final draw:
