Stade Brestois is still on cloud nine after its brilliant victory on Tuesday in Salzburg. And on the side of Breton leaders, we are already rubbing our hands financially.
You had to be very confident to dare to bet on Brest’s 4-0 victory in the Champions League after seeing the sinking of the Breton club last Friday in Auxerre. But it’s obvious, the European air gives wings to Eric Roy’s players and on Tuesday evening it was Salzburg who understood this. Before knowing the results of Wednesday’s matches, Brest is second in the Champions League standings behind Dortmund, but ahead of Leverkusen, Manchester City and Inter, no less. The flawless performance of the Finistère team has already had a concrete effect, since each victory brings in 2.1 million euros.
RMC journalist, Nicolas Jamain quickly did the math: “ 2.1 million euros for victory in the Champions League. 4.2 million in two matches. Brest, in two matches, collected the equivalent of 6 months of its payroll (700K euros monthly). The perfect shot », points out our colleague. And it’s not over since there are still six matches left in this first phase, even if Barça and Real Madrid are looming, Stade Brestois’ chances of qualifying for the rest of the Champions League are real.
