Sunday's showdown between Nottingham Forest and Chelsea is just as big as the Europa League final. It may not come with silverware but there’s a whole lot of Champions League riches riding on it.
Forest have the chance to sit at European football’s top table for the first time since the days of Brian Clough. Even if they miss out on a top-five spot they deserve great credit after finishing last season 17th, and overcoming financial restrictions this season.
For Chelsea, it would be unthinkable not to be in the Champions League after spending more than a billion pounds under their new ownership.
