Real Madrid arrived at the Stade du Roudourou earlier today ahead of their crucial Champions League match against Brest. As the team stepped off the bus, it was clear that the inclement weather would play a significant role in the outcome of the game.
Kylian Mbappé, who has faced Brest on numerous occasions during his time in France, expressed particular concern about the conditions. The French superstar noted the strong winds and heavy rain, which he believes could have a detrimental impact on the players' performance and health.
"The weather is really tough," Mbappé said. "The wind is very strong, and the rain is coming down hard. It's going to be a real challenge for both teams."
The medical staff have also expressed concerns about the conditions, warning the players to be cautious, especially regarding the risk of respiratory illnesses. The strong winds could exacerbate any existing respiratory problems, and the cold, wet conditions could increase the risk of injuries.
"We've instructed the players to be very careful," said the Real Madrid team doctor. "The conditions are far from ideal, and we want to minimize the risk of any injuries. The players need to be aware of the slippery surface and the strong winds."
The poor weather conditions have also taken a toll on the pitch, which has been described as a "muddy mess" by some members of the Real Madrid squad. The heavy rain has made the surface extremely slippery, increasing the risk of twisted ankles and other injuries.
"The pitch is in terrible condition," said one Real Madrid player. "It's going to be very difficult to play good football on a surface like this."
The inclement weather is not only a concern for the players but also for the fans. Many supporters have braved the elements to watch the match, but the conditions are likely to deter some from attending.
The match between Real Madrid and Brest is a crucial one for both teams. Real Madrid are looking to secure their place in the knockout stages of the Champions League, while Brest are fighting to avoid relegation. The poor weather conditions could have a significant impact on the outcome of the game, and it will be interesting to see how both teams adapt to the challenging circumstances.
