Forest beat Juventus 1:0 in an away game and successfully got revenge against them. At the same time, they also cemented their position at the top of the table for their group.
Winning this particular match had an ever greater significance to Forest than the aforementioned points. Previously, the media made no special mention of Nottingham Forest's victories over either Celtic F.C. or Atlético Madrid. When they beat Juventus, however, numerous media outlets printed the following in their titles: "The Red Forest Makes Its Return to Europe!"
By right, Nottingham Forest had made its return a long time ago. They had made their return once they qualified for next season's Champions League in the last match of the Premier League last season. There was actually an additional meaning behind the media's words. What they meant was that the invincible Nottingham Forest that once took Europe by storm was truly back.
