Forest Battles for Champions League Return After Decades

Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo has called the club's final five Premier League matches the 'biggest of our careers' as they seek to return to the Champions League for the first time since the 1980-81 season. Forest are currently sixth with a game in hand and must compete against Manchester City, Chelsea, and Aston Villa for a top-five finish, with only five points separating third and seventh place. The team recently ended a poor run with a morale-boosting win over Tottenham, following consecutive losses and an FA Cup semi-final defeat to Manchester City. Nuno stresses the importance of focus and resilience, starting with their upcoming match against Brentford at the City Ground. Key players Neco Williams and Ryan Yates return from suspension, while Ola Aina’s fitness remains under assessment. Nuno insists Forest still control their destiny and encourages belief from both players and fans.
