Brest is already afraid of Real and City

Eric Roy fears the worst as Brest discovers the Champions League next season.

The crazy season at Stade Brestois was entitled to its “happy end”. Thanks to its great victory in Toulouse (0-3), Sunday during the 34th and final day of Ligue 1, and the draw conceded by Lille against Nice, the Breton club in fact snatched third place in the final ranking and therefore validated his ticket for the group stage.

The prospect is not without frightening Eric Roy, the Breton coach. “The opponent that makes me dream? Everything suits me, replied the Brest coach on Prime Video. I saw the Real Madrid-Manchester City quarter-final. The next day in the locker room, I said to my staff: ‘Are you sure we have to go to the Champions League next season?’ »

“Because when we see the level, it’s obviously a little scary, he continued. But hey, we didn’t steal anything and whatever happens, we will defend our skin dearly even if we know that it will be a very difficult season. »
