"The worst mistake we can make is thinking it will be easy tomorrow. They will come here believing. We need to approach this game with the right mentality to play in front of our supporters. It is a big chance to please them because they deserve it."
"The result was Forest's biggest ever away win in major European competition. It was also their first win in the knockout rounds of any European competition since defeating Lyon 1-0 in the first leg of their UEFA Cup round of 16 tie in November 1995."
"The Turkish giants have also won just one of 10 away European matches (including qualifiers) in England (D2 L7), winning 1-0 at Manchester United in October 1996 in the Champions League."
Nottingham Forest defeated Fenerbahce 3-0 in the first leg of their Europa League play-off, with goals from Murillo, Igor Jesus, and Morgan Gibbs-White. Manager Vitor Pereira, in his first game replacing Sean Dyche, remained unbeaten and achieved Forest's biggest away win in major European competition. The victory marked Forest's first knockout round win in European competition since 1995. However, Pereira cautioned against complacency ahead of the second leg at the City Ground, emphasizing the need for proper mentality and focus. Fenerbahce have never progressed from a knockout tie after losing the first leg and have won only one of ten away European matches in England.
