It’s the big night for Stade Brestois. This Thursday, SB29 will play the first Champions League match in its history against the Austrian team Sturm Graz.
All of Brest’s players will be playing the first Champions League match of their careers. And this is the case for Hugo Magnetti. The 26-year-old midfielder did not hide his excitement when approaching the competition during an interview with the newspaper l’Équipe. He also displayed his ambition in the tournament.
“At least two matches won. That would be 6 points. By keeping our values, we will be proud of ourselves,” he said. With two victories under his belt, the European campaign of Eric Roy’s men would be more than successful.
Getting off to a good start before your trip to Salzburg
Stade Brestois has nothing to lose in this 2024-2025 edition of the Champions League. Brest have their card to play in this first match in front of their home crowd (in Guingamp). The objective will therefore be clear: to start well before getting into the thick of things when they travel to Salzburg for the 2nd European matchday.
