Before the Champions League match, Barcelona fans were asked what they thought of Stade Brestois

Little Thumb of the Champions League faces the five-time winner of the competition. In the streets of Barcelona, ​​we welcome these irreducible, little-known Bretons with curiosity.

The most prestigious match in its history. Stade Brestois will challenge FC Barcelona on Tuesday November 26 at the Lluis Companys Olympic Stadium in Montjuic. The Bretons are still undefeated after three victories and a draw in four days of the Champions League.

But after facing slightly more affordable opponents, the surprising fourth in the single group stage will this time come up against a European giant. In front of the huge store on Gran Via, in the center of Barcelona, ​​when supporters are asked blaugrana to quote a Brest player, the response is unanimous and a little embarrassed. “Brest? I've never heard of it, but really never. For me, Barcelona is the big favorite”declares a supporter.

Ricardo admits to him that he could not even place Brest on the map of France but he has vaguely heard of this small club which astonishes all of Europe. “What I know is that their fans are better than those of many teams in Spain and that they will have the level to play,” declares the Barcelona supporter. When his friend puts down his Barça bag to check his phone, Ricardo discovers the ranking of this new Champions League formula: 10 points for Brest, fourth ahead of Barcelona.

Defender Inigo Martinez insists at a press conference that his team has no room for error or a superiority complex: “I think they are doing an excellent job. It's no coincidence that they have no defeats. So, if we don't have a minimum of respect for them, we will probably pay dearly for it. .” And that even if Brest plays the fifth Champions League match in its history for Barcelona on Tuesday evening, it will be… the 354th.
