Nottingham Forest is set to face Real Betis in its first European game in 30 years, with manager Ange Postecoglou fielding an intriguing line-up that includes a mix of last season’s players and new signings.
One notable change in the team was the decision to replace last season’s top goal scorer, Chris Wood, with Igor Jesus. Despite initial skepticism, Jesus impressed by scoring two goals within the first 23 minutes after Betis took the lead.
Forest fans took to social media to express their admiration for Jesus, with many praising his performance and talent. Some fans even predicted a bright future for the Brazilian striker based on his stellar display.
Jesus’ impressive performance has given Postecoglou a lot to consider regarding his striker options, especially with competition from the likes of Wood waiting on the bench. The manager will have to make some tough decisions going forward, but Jesus has certainly made a strong case for himself with his standout performance against Real Betis.
