EPL: It’s important for Nottingham Forest to qualify for Champions League – Awoniyi
Nottingham Forest forward Taiwo Awoniyi says qualifying for the UEFA Champions League will be a big motivation for the team.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are among the four Premier League clubs vying for a place in the competition next season.
The Tricky Trees sit in sixth position on the table with three matches before the end of the campaign.
Forest also made it to the semi-final of the Emirates FA Cup where they were knocked out by Manchester City.
Awoniyi reckoned a top-five finish will make the season a success for the team.
“I think presently nothing but the Champions League. Presently we are out of the FA Cup after going through a long one. I broke my nose in the midst of it as well, got knocked out in the semi-final (Nottingham Forest 0-2 Manchester City),” he was quoted by Humble Boots.
“So, if I would justify the season and how far we have worked hard, I think making the Champions League would be a huge motivation for us as a team.”
The Reds will entertain already relegated Southampton at the City Ground on Sunday.
