Nottingham Forest 0-1 Chelsea: The 1865 Match Report, May 2025

Despite the monumental achievement of European football, there was a palpable sense of disappointment at the City Ground as the Reds failed to qualify for the Champions' League, even though other results went the way that we needed them to. In truth, Chelsea had the extra nous to get over the line, and Chris Wood missed two very preventable chances in a match where neither keeper was particularly tested. Steven Toplis and Tom Newton pick themselves up to analyse the game and we are joined by Nick from That Chelsea Podcast for a view from the opposition. We'll be back next week with our end of season Football Terrorists show.
