Regardless of the result of the meeting between Stade Brestois and Barcelona this Tuesday, it is a match that has already entered the club's history. Barcelona against Brest. The poster is dizzying. Any Breton club would like to be in Brest’s place to experience that. Any supporter would like to sit in the aisles of the Montjuic Olympic stadium, to see their team challenge Barça.
This privilege only belongs to Brest residents. No one will ever be able to take it away from them, even if the performances of the Red and Whites are up and down in the championship.
The cream of the crop
This clash, no one would have dreamed of it a few years ago, when Brest was bored in National or CFA. Think about it! Barcelona is the best of the best, the cream of the crop. It is one of the loudest names in the history of football, along with Real Madrid, Juventus Turin, AC Milan, Bayern Munich, Liverpool and Manchester United. This is the club that saw Lionel Messi, Ronaldinho, Romario and Johan Cruyff shine. Nothing can be stronger, for a club like Brest, than to rub shoulders with a legendary institution, like Barça.
And it doesn't matter if the people of Brest leave their Catalan stay empty-handed. Even a rout (which is far from being written in advance) cannot erase the memories that the thousands of Brest supporters will make until this Tuesday evening in the streets of Barcelona or in the fan zone set up in Penfeld.
This match is the biggest in the history of the Ti-Zefs… While waiting for the reception of Real Madrid, at the end of January in Guingamp, for another dream meeting. It’s certain: the people of Brest are incredibly lucky to experience such a season.
