Europa League over Champions League? Fans on Forest talking points
We asked for your views on what might be going under the radar with Nottingham Forest.
Here are some of your comments:
Mark: Another couple of points will guarantee Forest finish no lower than seventh. Wow, what a great campaign. European football in any guise would not have been a consideration prior to the season starting. I would have settled for 12th or close to it. Hopefully seventh would still get a European berth but I'm a little concerned matters could be taken out of our hands elsewhere, depending on who wins what.
Dave: That Europa League qualification would be a massive success this year. And probably a better fit for our squad to compete.
Alison: That the Europa League might be a better adjustment to European football for Forest rather than the Champions League is not something you want to be saying on the terraces.
Edward: This season has been a high-wire act of epic proportions. A small, shallow squad where Nuno trusts a core of maybe 15 players. No suitable additions were available in January. A combination of prayer and good fortune has kept the squad ticking over for most of the season. The injection of Champions League cash would be an elixir of life for the club, allowing Nuno to add quality and depth. Three immense games await.
John: Scoring goals is what we are missing and lots of it.
Tom: Nottingham Forest B team winning the International Cup on Wednesday on penalties. Well done lads! As usual, no coverage, if a big six team had done it there would be at least three articles by now.
Sean: Nottingham Forest's B team winning the International Cup, beating Lyon on penalties with Zach Abbott scoring the decisive penalty. The future is bright.

Elber warns Bayern of difficult match against Flamengo
Bayern Munich's Jamal Musiala pulls a jukebox across the pitch during a training session at the ESPN Sports Complex ahead Sunday's FIFA Club World Cup round of 16 soccer match against CR Flamengo. Sven Hoppe/dpa Former Brazilian international Giovane Elber warned his ex-club Bayern Munich that they will have a difficult piece of work when facing Flamengo in the last 16 of the Club World Cup. "It will be very difficult. The Brazilian teams are taking this tournament extremely seriously," Elber told the t-online news portal in an interview published on Saturday. Advertisement "The Club World Cup is huge for them. They want to show that they can keep up with the top European teams," he said. Three-time Copa Libertadores champions Flamengo defeated Chelsea 3-1 in the group stage. "Vincent Kompany and his coaching staff know what's coming their way. Flamengo were outstanding against Chelsea and almost everything worked for them," Elber said. But he still sees Bayern as the "clear favourites" to win the match and advance to the quarter-finals. "Flamengo are strong, no question about that. But we have the better squad, also in terms of depth." Elber played 266 games for Bayern and scored 139 goals. He won the Bundesliga four times and the Champions League once with the Bavarians.
