Eastwood's shot became a topic of great relish among the Forest fans after the game. It was even featured on the opening reel of ESPN's highlights and was broadcast repeatedly. It was a really terrific goal, almost like a work of art. The commentators joked that it was not humiliating for Mourinho to be wiped out by such a goal.
While Nottingham Forest eliminated Inter Milan with a score of 3:2, Barcelona also easily defeated Eindhoven 2:0 and advanced to the final eight. The two high-profile teams would finally meet.
Although it would be almost a month before the two teams actually encountered each other, the media and fans were already eagerly counting down.
