Brest Supporters Celebrate in Barcelona Ahead of Champions League Clash
In an unexpected twist in this season's Champions League, Stade Brestois supporters have taken to the streets of Barcelona, creating a vibrant and festive atmosphere ahead of their match against FC Barcelona. With around 3,000 fans in attendance, the Breton club is enjoying a remarkable campaign, arriving undefeated after four matches, including three wins and a draw, placing them ahead of the Catalan giants in the standings.
The supporters have been seen singing, dancing, and celebrating in a good-natured manner, embodying the spirit of camaraderie and excitement that surrounds this historic encounter. The match is set to kick off on Tuesday, November 26, at 9 p.m. local time, and will be broadcast on Canal + Sport. This marks a significant moment for Brest, who are competing in their first Champions League campaign.
Key Players Missing for Both Teams
As the match approaches, both teams face challenges with key players missing. FC Barcelona will be without 17-year-old sensation Lamine Yamal, who is sidelined due to an ankle injury sustained earlier this month. Yamal's absence is felt deeply by the team, as he has been instrumental in their attack this season, contributing significantly with goals and assists.
On the other hand, Stade Brestois will also miss Pierre Lees-Melou, who is recovering from a fibula injury. Despite these setbacks, both teams are looking to secure crucial points as they aim for advancement in the tournament. Brest currently sits in fourth place in their group, while Barcelona is in sixth, both teams vying for a spot in the knockout stages.
