Bab 790: Heavyweight Skirmish

After they played the game with Chelsea, there was still one more league game before Nottingham Forest would fly to Barcelona, Spain for the Champions League quarterfinals.

Their opponent was not strong. It was only Blackburn Rovers. Tony Twain rotated the team again. Only half of the players who would play against Barcelona were in the game. In the end, Nottingham Forest easily beat Blackburn Rovers, which was not on the same level at all, by 3:1. 

Nottingham Forest's game was played on Saturday afternoon. It was considered a slightly earlier game in this round of the Premier League. After the game, Twain handed the team to Kerslake and rushed straight to London with Dunn. They had to catch the evening flight to Madrid, Spain.

They were not traveling to Spain for a holiday, nor for an elopement. They were going there just to watch El Clásico live the next night at the Bernabéu, and to collect first-hand information at the nearest distance.
