Find the key figures before the long-awaited gala visit by Stade Brestois to Catalonia.
– Barça remains on three consecutive victories in the Champions League, each time with at least three goals in advance (5-0 against Young Boys, 4-1 against Bayern and 5-2 at Red Star). A fourth such big success on Tuesday evening, and the Catalans would become only the fifth in history to achieve such a series in C1.
– More generally, Barcelona have scored 25 goals in the seven matches played at Montjuich this season, an average of 3.6 goals per home match. There are a total of five victories in La Liga (2-1 against Bilbao, 7-0 against Valladolid, 1-0 against Getafe, 5-1 against Sevilla and 1-0 against Espanyol) and two in C1 (see more top), the Blaugrana have therefore won all their matches on their home field.
A first since Bordeaux in 1999?
– Stade Brestois, with ten points, remains one of the six undefeated teams this season in the Champions League. Another match without defeat, and it would become the first French club since Bordeaux in 1999 to not lose any of the first five matches in its history during a modern C1 (since the 1992-93 season). The Girondins then even pushed up to six, undefeated during their first group phase.
– Brest, in each of its first four matches, scored in the first period. The Barcelona players scored nine of their fifteen goals (60%) between the 30th and 60th minutes, but Eric Roy's men only conceded once in this section of the game: it was in added time of their first match against Sturm Graz (2-1), Edimilson Fernandes then equalizing against his side.
– Raphinha, with five goals including a hat-trick against Bayern, is among the five best scorers in the Champions League, tied with his teammate Robert Lewandowski but also Harry Kane (Bayern) and Victor Gyökeres (Sporting). The Brazilian has been involved in fifteen goals in Barça's last nine games (eight goals and seven assists).
