Lille striker Salomon Kalou believes that his side can qualify for the Champions League and reach the quarter-finals in the near future.

The 27-year-old says that he and his teammates should draw inspiration from fellow French team Paris Saint-Germain, who progressed to the last eight of the competition this season.

"Paris were so close to getting to the semi-final," he told beIN Sport. "I think they were unlucky against Barcelona. I think they could have gone through. If you are in the semi-final, then you have the possibility of winning the Champions League.

"So I think what Paris did this year, Lille can do too, because they have a great coach, that's one, with a beautiful stadium, with amazing fans, and there is no reason why they shouldn't be at that level of the game."

Lille are currently fourth in Ligue 1 with 56 points from 33 matches.
