It is a shock at the top which is being played out in Catalonia this Tuesday during the fifth act of the Champions League. A poster between a Barça sixth in the general classification and a Stade Brestois surprisingly perched in fourth place.
For this meeting, the Bretons will certainly be deprived of Pierre Lees-Melou, who received a bad blow Friday evening in the championship, but the Blaugranas will have to do without the services of Lamine Yamal, who has been suffering from his right ankle since the match in C1 in Belgrade at the beginning of November.
A notable absence
Still absent from training this weekend, the La Roja prodigy, who also missed the last international break, will certainly not be there with Brest. No risks will be taken with the phenomenon who this season has already compiled six goals and eight assists in 16 outings. In his absence, Barça barely collected one point in two days of La Liga.
