Paris Saint-Germain actually played in the Stade de Roudourou’s inaugural match on 21st January 1990 (a 1-0 friendly win for Les Parisiens over EA Guingamp).
2
Since the arrival of Luis Enrique, Paris have lost just 2 official matches against French clubs, against Nice (2-3, 15th September 2023) and Toulouse (1-3, 12th May 2024), out of 66 matches played.
3
Paris are currently on a three-game winning streak in Europe, having beaten Salzburg 3-0, Manchester City 4-2 and Stuttgart 4-1. This is the capital club’s longest run of wins on the continental stage since its four-game streak in the 2020–2021 season (1-0 v. Leipzig, 3-1 v. Manchester United, 5-1 v. İstanbul Başakşehir and 4-1 v. Barcelona).
7
Ousmane Dembélé has scored at least 1 goal in his first 7 matches for Paris in 2025, against Monaco (1 goal), Saint-Etienne (2 goals), Manchester City (1 goal), Reims (1 goal), Stuttgart (3 goals), Brest (3 goals) and Monaco (2 goals), a record run in the club's history.

Les Rouge et Bleu are unbeaten in their last 30 competitive fixtures against Brest, having notched up 22 wins and eight draws since falling to a 3-1 defeat in Brittany on 26th January 1985. As a result, having been equalled just a few days ago, Paris’s 30-game unbeaten streak against Angers, which is the capital club’s longest-ever run without defeat in competitive fixtures against a single team, could well be beaten tonight.
42
With 42 goals under his belt, Kylian Mbappé is also Paris Saint-Germain’s top scorer in European competitions, ahead of Edinson Cavani (30 goals scored).
46
Paris and Brest have faced each other in a total of 46 competitive fixtures, with the head-to-head record sitting firmly in Les Rouge et Bleu’s favour: 29 wins, 13 draws and four losses.
52
Tonight, Brest will become Paris’s 52nd different opponent in the UEFA Champions League / European Cup specifically, as well as the capital club’s 92nd different opponent across all European competitions.
99
With 99 matches played, Marquinhos is Paris Saint-Germain’s all-time top appearance maker in European competitions and could therefore become a centurion against the Breton side.
