The underdogs are such that they have not performed consistently throughout the season although at the beginning of the season they were quite good with their performance, they had the opportunity to qualify only for their game to deteriorate and now losing or not qualifying they must accept this reality.
At least Nottingham Forest can still compete in other European tournaments even if it is not the UCL tournament.
Bruh, it's so painful when Nottingham was always being at the top for almost the whole season, but bottled in the end. They went from 2th to the 7th. They hoped for UCL, but ended in UECL. There's no the worst nightmare than it.
Playing in UECL won't be helping them a lot in recovering from their pain from hoping to play the top but ended at the lowest tier of EU competition.
