In the early morning of May 26, 10 games in the 38th round of the Premier League began at the same time. A decisive battle involving the UEFA Champions League quota began between Nottingham Forest and Chelsea.

Nottingham Forest, which ranked only 17th last season, seemed to have become a team under the leadership of Nuno. Before the start of round 31, Forest can still rank third in the standings. But in the following 6 rounds, Forest only scored 5 points, and the situation took a sharp turn. Forest ranked sixth before the start of the final round.

However, Forest is only one point behind Newcastle, Chelsea and Villa. As long as Forest wins in the last round and Newcastle and Villa do not both win, this 160-year-old store will advance to the Champions League again after 45 years. It is worth noting that Forest has won the Champions League twice, but only has one domestic league championship trophy.

Chelsea, who plays away, is also in a serious situation. If it draws against Forest, both teams may miss the Champions League. For the Blues, whose total value is 920 million, the losses caused by not being able to participate in the Champions League for two consecutive seasons will be unbearable. In the first 30 minutes of the first half, although both teams had only one shot, the two sides had close contact, the scene was open enough, and the scene appeared one after another.

In the 31st minute, Chelsea got an excellent opportunity. Palmer's cross landed accurately, Neto inserted a cushion and shot, and the ball was too high.

This is also the only threatening shot of the two teams in the first half. At the end of the half, the two teams shot 1-2, with a score of 0-0, which is more intense and exciting.

Just 5 minutes into the second half, Chelsea sieges the forest's goal, Neto seemed to pass and shoot, the ball came to the back point, and Colville's goal left the forest fans silent. In

stoppage time, Wood hit a high shot. In the end, Chelsea, with a total value of 920 million, defeated Nottingham Forest 1-0. With this victory, Chelsea returned to the Champions League after a year. Nottingham Forest, which has been in the team for 160 years, has been a pity. From being firmly in the top three at one time to finally missing the opportunity to return to the Champions League after 45 years.

It is worth noting that Nottingham Forest has won the Champions League twice, but has won the top league championship only once. It is the only team among all England teams that have won the Champions League more times than the league.
