The French side will be Liverpool's 100th opponents in european football when they meet in the Champions League qualifier this month and it's a match up the Toulouse manager is eagerly awaiting.

"These two matches must allow us to get bigger. This preliminary round must allow us to grab the limelight so that we can embed ourselves in French football's bigger picture," said Eli Baup.

"It is fantastic to be playing the finalist of last year's Champions League, even if it is a shame that the first match is in Toulouse. We are going to experience a legendary stadium. We are going to come up against some massive players and for our young players, it will certainly be a big moment.

"We are watching them in Rotterdam where they are taking part in a warm-up tournament, then afterwards, we will go to Lourdes to give ourselves as big a chance as possible! We haven't much chance of qualifying but we will do everything to cause an upset."
