Tonight's match lets all dreams come true. BSitting in 4th place in the rankings, Stade Brestois has the advantage of sparing itself the pressure of the result, facing the legendary Barça. The match counts for the 5th day of the Champions League. Eric Roy's players are in a position to qualify for the round of 16, just like the Blaugrana of FC Barcelona, who are only 6th in the League before this meeting. The fight promises to be fierce for this first: Brestois have never faced Barcelona.
To read. “This is Brest!” Stade Brestois supporters are already celebrating
Before kick-off at 9 p.m., supporters unleash their enthusiasm in the Catalan capital.
We didn't expect to meet so many people from Brest and to see so much fervor from the people of Brest here, we feel like we're at home!

“The atmosphere is going to be crazy,” anticipates another supporter, who has already found his voice hoarse, during a previous night full of festivities in the city.
In Brest too, we see things in a big way. Since the beginning of September, the city of Finistère has been working on this evening. The Penfeld exhibition center expects 5,600 spectators this Tuesday evening. Several 20 meter long bars have been set up in the large hall. To watch the match in this XXL fan zone, a 15 meter by 8 meter screen extends to its full height, inside the building. A sound system “worthy of the greatest concerts”assures Emmanuelle Hérichard, the director of the exhibition park, must allow supporters to experience the match as closely as possible.
Meanwhile in Barcelona, the procession of Brest supporters is heading towards the Olympic stadium, in a boiling hot atmosphere.
