The Stade Brestois is preparing to host Real Madrid in the final match of the Champions League group stage, and their coach, Eric Roy, has shared his strategy to contain the star of the match: Kylian Mbappé. In excellent form, the French forward has been unstoppable in his recent matches, including a hat-trick against Real Valladolid in La Liga. After a difficult start in Madrid, Mbappé has regained his best level, becoming a constant threat to opposing defenses.

Eric Roy is aware of the difficulty of stopping a player like Mbappé, especially after his impressive performances. In an interview with the Spanish newspaper AS, the Stade Brestois coach acknowledged the quality of the attacker and pointed out that, although he has faced him several times when coaching Brest in Ligue 1, the result has always been the same: goals. Despite this, Roy is confident that his team can limit the player's abilities through collective and organized effort.

The coach of the Breton team knows that his side isn't the favorite against Real Madrid, but he highlighted the surprising performance of Stade Brestois in this Champions League edition. The club, debuting in the competition, has shown its worth by winning four of its matches. If they manage another victory this Wednesday against the Madrid giants, they could secure direct qualification to the Round of 16, an unexpected achievement for many.

In his conversation with AS, Eric Roy couldn't avoid mentioning the criticism Stade Brestois received at the beginning of the competition. Many believed the team wouldn't score any points and would ruin France's UEFA coefficient. However, the Bretons have shocked everyone and are now just one step away from direct qualification. Roy does not underestimate the challenge, but remains optimistic about his team's current form.

This Wednesday's match at the Roudourou stadium will be crucial for Stade Brestois' future in the Champions League. With a clear plan to contain Mbappé, Eric Roy and his team hope to keep surprising Europe and cause an upset against the defending champions, Real Madrid.
