Forest chase UCL dream as Reds get in party mood
Bangkok Post
|May 25, 2025
Nottingham Forest's historic Champions League dream is still alive as they brace for a dramatic showdown against Chelsea, while Liverpool will finally get their hands on the Premier League trophy.
-
As the English top-flight season comes to an end today, Forest and Chelsea are among five clubs chasing the three remaining top five spots, along with Manchester City, Newcastle and Aston Villa.
Unai Emery’s Villa travel to face troubled Manchester United, whose misery was compounded by their Europa League final defeat against Tottenham in midweek.
AFP Sport picks out the main talking points ahead of this weekend's action.
Dare to dream
Nottingham Forest have enjoyed a remarkable renaissance but they will still end the season with regrets if they fail to reach the Champions League.
The two-time European champions last played in the continent's top club competition in 1980/81.
They have been resident in the top five for most of the season but have lost momentum in recent weeks and must now beat rivals Chelsea and hope Villa or Newcastle drop points.
Even though they may fail to qualify for the Champions League, Forest at least have the comfort of knowing they have secured European football next season.
