West Ham stunned the French side 3-0 in the
second leg to advance 4-1 on aggregate and set up a semi-final
against Eintracht Frankfurt.
Frankfurt were also the opposition in the semi-finals of the
1976 European Cup Winners' Cup, West Ham's last major European
semi.
"We're not favourites, but I want the players to think that they
are," Moyes told reporters. "I want the players to have great
self-belief and I want them to think right from the start of the
tournament.
"I've always thought the form we were in at the start this
season, I would have taken anybody on at that time."
Moyes, who took West Ham from the brink of Premier League
relegation in the 2019-20 season, said it was a "monumental
period" for the London club.
"I'm hoping we can keep it going, I'm hoping we can be talking
about the final soon," he added.
West Ham are sixth in the Premier League on 51 points with six
matches left. They host Burnley on Sunday.
