Match Preview
Brest have made a dream start to their debut appearance in the Champions League after winning three of their opening four matches. The French side is one of just six sides that are yet to suffer a defeat in the competition, and they come into this round after winning three of their last four.
However, this is undeniably their biggest challenge to date, as Barcelona have been the dominant force in Spain under Hansi Flick this term. The La Liga giants have been in excellent recent form in the Champions League after winning each of their last three. In fact, no side has scored more goals than Barcelona to this point.

Barcelona have suffered defeats in each of their last two matches against French clubs, with both coming in this calendar year. However, the Spanish club are unbeaten in their last 20 first-time meetings against new opponents in the Champions League.
The La Liga giants have won each of their last three matches in the Champions League by three-goal margins. Meanwhile, they have netted more goals than any other team in the competition. Interestingly, half of the players that have scored five or more goals in the Champions League this season play for Barcelona.
Brest could make history this week, as they will be looking to become the first French side since Bordeaux in 1999-2000 to avoid defeat in each of their opening five matches in the Champions League.
