Los Blancos are not in their usual commanding spot in the competition.

Defending UEFA Champions League (UCL) champions Real Madrid will travel to France to face off against Brest with the hope of confirming their place in the playoffs. The 15-time UCL winners are considered to be the best team on the planet when it comes to this competition. They will have to do everything in their power to defend their crown. The stakes and expectations are higher than ever and it remains to be seen if Los Blancos come out on top yet again.

Brest on the other hand have enjoyed a better campaign than their opponents. They have gone above and beyond all expectations and have made a massive impact in the Champions League this season. With two wins and a draw in three games, Brest are undefeated at home so far and will look to maintain that come Thursday. The Pirates sit at the 13th position with as many points from four wins and a draw.

Players to watch 

Ludovic Ajorque (Brest)

The French striker has enjoyed a sublime run of form up front for Brest this season. He has been consistently finding the back of the net across all competitions and has accumulated eight goals and three assists in the process. Standing at 6‘6, Ajorque possesses a towering presence inside the box and is known for his finishing abilities. He has found the back of the net five times in the last eight games and will hope to do the same against the Los Blancos.

Kylian Mbappe (Real Madrid)

Kylian Mbappe needs no introduction. He is considered to be one of the finest football players that has ever played the beautiful game. Mbappe seems to have found his rhythm at Madrid after a slow start. The French international is fresh off a match-winning hattrick in the last game and has put the ball into the net 21 times across all competitions. Moreover, he has a fantastic record against Brest having scored nine goals in nine appearances against them.
