After the game, Mourinho said he was very sorry that Nottingham Forest did not lose, which was somewhat true. Twain said he was unhappy that he had not won the game, but it felt like he was a little reluctant to admit a mistake.
Under such circumstances, it was actually a good thing that they could tie the game on their home ground. After all, they had to put more energy into the Champions League.
After the league game with Chelsea, Nottingham Forest ranked sixth in the league with eighteen points. Immediately after that, there was another Champions League group stage game.
At the City Ground stadium, the Forest team would play France's Girondins de Bordeaux.
They were not a strong opponent and furthermore, the game was at home for the Forest team.
