Brest-Real Madrid: looking to close out the Champions League opening phase with a win

This evening sees Real Madrid play their eighth and final game of the first phase of this season's Champions League (9:00 pm CET). Our team face Brest in what is an unprecedented matchup in a competitive European fixture. The game is set to be played at Guingamp's Stade du Roudourou, the French outfit's base for the competition.
Ancelotti's boys have already made sure of a place in the two-legged playoff prior to the Round of 16, but tonight's goal will be to pick up a fifth victory in this continental campaign as they look to finish as high up the table as possible. Our team will be guaranteed a second leg at the Bernabéu should they finish between ninth and sixteenth. Besides, they still have a mathematical chance of finishing inside the top eight and avoiding the playoff stage altogether.

“Our aim is to win the game and finish as high as possible," underlined Ancelotti in the pre-match press conference. The Italian coach has been unable to include Vini Jr. in the squad due to an accumulation of yellow cards. Mbappé did travel to France though, fresh off the back of his first madridista hat-trick against Valladolid on Saturday. The forward has found the back of the net in all of our team's last five games, hitting eight in total.

In what is their first ever Champions League appearance, the French outfit come into the clash sitting thirteenth in the table on 13 points. Just like our team, they have already secured their place in the Round of 16 playoff, and could finish in the top eight as well. They are unbeaten at home in the competition so far, having beaten PSV (1-0) and Sturm Graz (2-1) and taken a draw against Bayer Leverkusen (1-1). Ludovic Ajorque is their top marksman this season, with eight goals to his name.
