1 week ago Nottingham Forest’s Champions League hopes hit by late Leicester leveller

If you had told Nottingham Forest fans in August that a point in their penultimate home game of the season would guarantee them European qualification, most would have bitten your hand off. Now, however, after it looked as if Chris Wood’s diving header had lifted them into fifth place, Facundo Buonanotte’s late equaliser means that Champions League qualification is out of their hands.Qualifying for the Europa League (or Conference League) is no mean feat for Nuno Espírito Santo’s team but, having been sitting pretty in third place for the middle part of the season, it seems like a comedown now. Certainly that seemed to be Evangelos Marinakis’s reaction as the Forest owner strode on to the pitch at full time to have a few choice words with his manager. Continue reading...

This week Nottingham Forest readied themselves for the Champions League, Evangelos Marinakis relinquishing his controlling interest in the club to comply with Uefa’s ownership rules. Marinakis’s other club, Greek champions Olympiakos, have already qualified for the grandest stage in the club game but Forest’s bid to return to European competition will probably go to the wire. Will Forest, who remain sixth, look back on defeat at home to Brentford as a costly misstep when their season ends here against Chelsea, one of those teams vying for a top-five berth?Forest, who face Crystal Palace, Leicester and West Ham before that potential final-day showdown, never really got going on a disappointing evening. Goals from Kevin Schade and Yoane Wissa, a January target for Forest, condemned the hosts to successive league home defeats for the first time since the end of last season.
