Brest-Real Madrid, the probable formations
At the Stade du Roudourou at 9 p.m. will be staged the challenge between Brest and Real Madrid, a match valid for the last day of the single group stage of the Champions League. The surprise Brest is not yet over: already certain of a place in the play-offs, it is now preparing to welcome the Blancos in a key challenge for the assault on the top 8. The hosts, coming off a 2-0 loss to Shakhtar Donetsk, occupy 13th place with 13 points. Les Merengues, on the other hand, arrive in high spirits after two consecutive victories and are in 16th° place with 12 points. A success would allow Real to overtake Brest and revive their ambitions of a top-eight finish.
Roy will have to do without Amavi, Haidara, Le Cardinal, Locko and Martin due to injury. In attack he relies on the trident Baldè, Ajourque and Doumbia. In the midfield Fernandes in the booth, in defense Chardonnet with Coulibaly.
Ancelotti will have to give up Vinicius, disqualified, as well as Camavinga, Militao and Carvajal out due to injury. In attack, space for the trident formed by Brahim Diaz, Mbappé and Rodrygo. Midfield composed of Modric, Bellingham and Valverde, in defense it’s young Asencio’s turn again.
