Nottingham Forest secured a place in the Europa League semi-finals following a 2-1 aggregate victory over Eintracht Frankfurt on 16 April. The club progressed after a 1-1 draw in the second leg at the City Ground, following a 1-0 win in Germany earlier this month.
Nuno Espirito Santo's side now faces a semi-final tie against Benfica. However, the club remains in a difficult domestic position. Forest sits 18th in the Premier League table, one point behind Everton with four matches remaining.
According to the Premier League, the team has won eight matches this season. Heavy fixture congestion has hampered league form, per Sky Sports. The squad must now balance a European semi-final with crucial fixtures against Aston Villa and Manchester City. The club risks becoming the first team to play in the Champions League while competing in the Championship if they win the tournament but suffer relegation.
