Comments:

Final league position 2024-25: 7th . Had they won this final game of 2024-25, Nottingham Forest would have qualified for the following season's UEFA Champions League. Instead, they would play in the UEFA Europa League; their first UEFA competition participation since 1995-96 in the UEFA Cup. . Forest failed in their attempt to win 20 or more games in a 38-game top division season for the first time. . They had now lost five of their last nine games in all competitions (won two).
