Liverpool to play Toulouse ( UCL Qualifer )
-
Liverpool, last season's losing finalists and champions in 2005, face French outfit Toulouse, while Arsenal take on Sparta Prague in the two legs to be played on August 14/15 and 28/29.
I'm happy with the draw for two reasons," Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez told the club website. "Firstly, the travelling won't be a problem, and secondly, the second leg will be at Anfield in front of our supporters.
Toulouse finished third in the French league last season and Benitez insists he will not underestimate Elie Baup's team.
Toulouse are a good side with some good players," said Benitez. "The French league is of a high standard and so this won't be an easy game." Baup was thrilled with the idea of facing the Premiership giants.
It's fantastic to play last season's finalists even if it's a bit of a shame that the first leg is in Toulouse," the French club's coach said.
We're going to discover a mythic stadium (at Anfield) and huge players and for our younger players it will be a great occasion. -

France and England are beside each other so it's good.
At least no need to travel to some East European country where it gets even more cold and freezing for them. -
