🎥 Pitch for PSG's clash with Brest looks more Sunday league than UCL 😳
Paris Saint Germain face Brest in the Champions League play-off round as they bid for a place in the round of 16, but the pitch prepared for them looks less than ideal.
Due to UEFA regulations, Brest cannot play home games in their own stadium, meaning that their "home" ground is actually at second tier side Guingamp's Stade de Roudourou, 114km away from Brest.
And though Guingamp have not played there since February 1st, the pitch is far from the carpet expected by modern footballers.

Will PSG be able to overcome that to take an advantage back to the Parc des Princes?

3️⃣ questions before Atleti's Club World Cup debut
Sign up for DAZN to watch all FIFA Club World Cup matches for FREE Atlético de Madrid makes its debut in the Club World Cup and it's not against just anyone. The PSG of Luis Enrique, current European champion after sweeping Inter Milan in the Munich final, is the first hurdle for Diego Pablo Simeone's team. Advertisement The first big match in the Club World Cup raises many questions about the red and white team. We reveal them! Griezmann... to the bench? We must admit that Antoine did not end the season in his best form. The years go by, and there were many voices suggesting that his leading role at Atlético de Madrid should give way to a new era at Atlético with Julián Álvarez as the spearhead. 📸 OSCAR DEL POZO - AFP or licensors Today is the first big test where we will find out what happens with Griezmann. Will the Frenchman continue to be a starter and reference in the attack or will we see him in the final 30' of the game to try to change the match? Will Sorloth continue to be the bet from the bench? A total of 20. Those were the goals that the Norwegian striker ended up scoring in his first campaign with Atlético. Advertisement Simeone bet on Sortloth coming off the bench, and although the numbers did not disappoint there are many who wonder: does it make sense that the top scorer of the squad is not a starter at Atlético? 📸 Florencia Tan Jun - 2025 Getty Images Today "starts" a new test for many and we will have to see if Simeone's bet regarding the former Villarreal player is the same, or we see him as an offensive reference alongside Julián in the attack front. Many doubts on the left wing Without a doubt, the left profile of Atlético de Madrid's squad is the one that raises the most doubts at this time of the season. 📸 GOKHAN TANER Advertisement Without signings, Simeone will start again with names like Javi Galán, Rodrigo Riquelme, Gallagher and Samu Lino for 2 positions. Logic suggests that Álex Baena will own the left attacking area once his signing is confirmed, and that the board will go all out to close Grimaldo, Robertson or Miguel Gutiérrez in the summer months, but for now the red and whites will have to play "with what they have" as they say.
