The very beautiful tribute from Thierry Henry for Brest, surprise guest of the play-offs

This Wednesday evening, Brest hoped to achieve a new feat on the European scene. A victory in Geselkirchen against Shakhtar would have allowed the Breton club to imagine a crazy scenario with a possible place in the Top 8 of the competition. Finally, Eric Roy's men missed their meeting against the Ukrainian club (0-2) and the reception of Real Madrid next Wednesday promises to be a magnificent gala poster to experience, but difficult on the sporting plan against the band of Mbappé who is back in great shape.

Henry did not imagine Brest creating the feat

But this does not call into question the scope of the feat of Brest, the smallest club in this phase of the Champions League championship according to the UEFA index, and guaranteed to compete in the future play-offs. A performance which shocked Thierry Henry. Consultant on CBS, the former coach of the Espoirs was keen to pay tribute to the Breton club for its difficult to imagine performance at the start of the competition. “Seeing Brest qualify for the play-offs, I had already said it, I didn't think it would happen one day, but it happened,” Henry confided in a speech full of admiration.
