Toulouse travels to Belgium to challenge Union Saint-Gilloise this Thursday for its entry into the Europa League (6:45 p.m.). Here is all the essential information on this match.
It would have been difficult to imagine Toulouse, a year ago, punching their ticket for a European Cup during this 2022-23 season. However, this is the small feat achieved by Téfécé after its coronation in the Coupe de France last season. Qualified for the Europa League, Toulouse approaches the competition with a difficult trip to the pitch of a revelation team from the last campaign, Union Saint-Gilloise.
This club from the suburbs of Brussels should offer tough opposition to the Toulouse residents. However, Carles Martinez Novell wants to relieve any pressure for his players. “After 14 years without playing this competition, the first feeling that comes is to enjoy the moment. It is by taking advantage that we will play better. We are playing this Europa League for ourselves but above all for our supporters. We are here to try to win, to be the best, but we really have to have fun”explained the Toulouse coach in comments transcribed by The Dispatch. The tone is set
