Nottingham Forest boss Vitor Pereira, speaking to TNT Sports: “A good result in my opinion. To face two competitions, we need to play with everyone. The players that started today did good work. In the end, 1-1, the game is open to play at home and decide qualification.
“Porto, playing at home are a strong team. They have momentum with supporters.. Forest, I try to balance the two competitions, it was very clear we played with nine different players to the last game. I think we did well. The players tried everything. 1-1 is a good result and playing at home we will see what we can do.”
On Forest’s disallowed goal: “It is better to keep the opinion with me.”
On his squad depth: “The first two subs we did I was thinking about the next game against [Aston] Villa. It’s very important for us to get points in the league and this is the only way.”
