Lyon coach Remi Garde has said that "fate" saw his team paired with Tottenham Hotpsur in the Europa League, ensuring a visit from former goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.
The French number one departed the Stade de Gerland late in the transfer window to link up with Andre Villas-Boas's men, and Garde knows how difficult it will be to find a way past him.
"Drawing Tottenham, it made us all think about Hugo," Sky Sports News quotes Garde as saying. "That is fate.
"I hope he will not want to shine against us, but I fear he will."
The first leg will take place at White Hart Lane on February 14.
