Lille manager Rene Girard believes that his side have what it takes to challenge for Champions League football as well as the Coupe de France.
The six-times French cup winners take on amateur outfit Caen this evening for a place in the quarter-finals of the competition, and sit in third place in Ligue 1.
"We have the means to carry out these goals [in league and cup]," he told reporters ahead of the cup tie.
"[But] it is never a foregone conclusion. In this event any team is capable of a winning and can be dangerous.
"The Coupe de France has more flavour than the league cup, and remains something attractive [to us]."
Lille last lifted the Coupe de France in 2011 when they defeat Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 in the final.
