Forest's return to European competition this season marks the first time the club has participated in the tournament in three decades. Postecoglou expressed his enthusiasm for the upcoming match, highlighting the unique atmosphere that European nights bring. He believes the fans will be particularly energized for this game, given its significance and the fact that it's the first in 30 years.

Postecoglou emphasized the importance of treating European competition as a separate tournament, with its own set of challenges and unfamiliar opponents. He credited former managers Steve Cooper and Nuno Espirito Santo for their hard work in getting the team to this point, acknowledging the privilege of leading Forest in their European adventure.

The manager is looking forward to the responsibility of guiding the club back to European competition and making it a successful campaign. He also hopes to make it a regular occurrence for Forest to participate in the tournament every season.
