I agree, Nottingham Forest is having a fabulous season, even third. Next season they will go to Champions League, have they ever been in Champions League?
Let's hope they can achieve at least one of their goals, i assume going to play in a prestigious cup
They have even won two European Cups (now the UEFA Champions League) and that makes them one of six English clubs to have claimed the competition. But that was achieved when they were at their peak, around the 1970s, that was quite a long time ago.
According to Opta, they have a 93.3% chance of finishing in the top five, meaning they are positive enough to enter the league. So if they can enter the Champions League next season, that would be a very good thing for the team, because they have been waiting a long time to be able to play in the league again. But it all depends on their performance for the rest of the season. and hopefully they can maintain that positive performance.
There is zero doubt they will be in UCL next season, no idea why they are given 93.3% chance, because there is no 6.7% chance they will be out of top five, how could they? And I do not know their history of "what happened in between" but I did know that they won, I just never followed up on learning how did they become one of the best English teams in the world, to suddenly be a low level team.
I do hope that they keep this going of course, because it is a great way to figure out how they could make this a long term thing. If they can stay and be a strong team, that means another strong team at the top, the more competitive the league is, the better our entertainment would be. So I always welcome teams to be great, but I doubt they can take this further than this year.
