Stade Brestois 29 secures knockout stage spot in Champions League after win over PSV

Stade Brestois 29 has made a surprising impact in the UEFA Champions League, securing a spot in the knockout stages after a 1-0 win over PSV Eindhoven. This marks their first-ever participation in European competition. Brest, who finished third in Ligue 1 last season, has achieved 13 points from six matches, only losing to Barcelona. Their strong performance includes scoring 10 goals and conceding just six, outperforming many top clubs. Under coach Eric Roy, Brest relies on a solid team effort rather than star players. Despite injuries to key individuals, the team has maintained its competitive edge, currently sitting 11th in Ligue 1.
