Toulouse coach Elie Baup is delighted the French side have been drawn against Liverpool in the third qualifying round of the Champions League. The Merseysiders, beaten by AC Milan in last May's final in Athens after winning the competition in 2005, will be in southwest France for the first leg against a side who finished third in Ligue 1 last season. "It's a pity the first leg will be in Toulouse but what's happening to us is fantastic," Baup, whose club have not won anything in 50 years but did knock Diego Maradona's Napoli out of the UEFA Cup in 1986, told reporters. "We'll be playing a legend and that's fabulous for our young guys," he added. "It's true we're not the favourites but we will fight and we will go to Lourdes to improve our chances," he added, jokingly referring to the southwestern pilgrimage town near Toulouse. Toulouse striker Andre-Pierre Gignac added: "We would have liked an easier draw but over two matches everything is possible. We'll be playing a fantastic club with fantastic supporters. We will need two dream matches but we can make it."
