Super Eagles full-back Ola Aina is targeting victory in Nottingham Forest’s crucial Premier League clash with Chelsea as the club chases its first UEFA Champions League appearance in over four decades. +
+
Aina, who has featured in 34 matches this season, contributing two goals and an assist, is one of Forest’s standout performers. The team has enjoyed a strong season under Nuno Espirito Santo, maintaining a place in the league’s top five for much of the campaign. However, a recent dip in form means they must now beat Chelsea and hope that either Aston Villa or Newcastle slip up to secure a coveted Champions League spot. +

The two-time European champions last competed in the continent’s premier club [competition](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/merchandising-and-branding/beyond-limits-graduate-ogundana-strengthens-ekiti-football-ecosystem/) during the 1980/81 season. While the Champions League remains the dream, a place in one of UEFA’s continental competitions is guaranteed, with the UEFA Europa Conference League currently the minimum they can achieve. +
+
Forest’s journey back to prominence has been long and winding, but Sunday offers a golden opportunity to cap off the season with one of the club’s most significant [achievements](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/sports-betting/bet9ja/bet9ja-promotion-code/) in recent history. +

There’s something magical about a team clawing its way back to the top. Nottingham Forest, a club with a rich European legacy, is [knocking](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/news/interviews/is-ahmed-musas-unity-cup-call-up-a-game-changer-for-super-eagles/) again on the doors of continental greatness. But make no mistake, the path has been anything but easy. +
+
Sunday’s showdown against Chelsea is more than a match it’s a statement. It’s about redemption, validation, and ambition. This is a team that once reigned in Europe, only to fall into obscurity for years. Now, they’re just one result and a bit of luck—away from reclaiming a place among Europe’s elite. +
+
Ola Aina embodies this resurgence. His consistent displays, punctuated by attacking contributions and defensive grit, have been crucial to Forest’s [campaign](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/international-nigerian-footballers/river-plates-young-striker-eyes-flying-eagles-call-up-after-swift-rise/). And while he may be facing his former club in Chelsea, loyalty this weekend lies firmly with the badge he currently wears. +

Forest fans have every right to dream. This club’s revival under Nuno has blended tactical innovation with old-school grit. But dreams need to be earned. Chelsea won’[t offer](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/merchandising-and-branding/1xbet-nigeria-ceo-dr-femi-highlights-youth-role-at-lagos-championship/) gifts, and Forest must show hunger from the first whistle, +
+
The outcome may also depend on results elsewhere, but Forest must focus on controlling the controllables. If they fall short of the Champions League, securing a in any capacity is still a victory worth savouring. Yet we believe the fight for the biggest stage is far from over and if anyone deserves that final push, it’s this fearless Forest side. +
