    Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo has pushed back against the narrative surrounding the club's promotion to the Europa League, insisting the criticism is misplaced.

    Speaking to BBC Radio Nottingham, Nuno expressed his sympathy for Crystal Palace's fans, players and coaching staff, but was clear that Forest should not be portrayed as the villains in the situation.

    Following a Court of Arbitration for Sport ruling, Forest were promoted to the Europa League for this season, while Palace were relegated to the Conference League.

    "I am aware and I have been looking at that and the narrative that has been built is not the truth - we are not to blame," said Nuno. "We did a very good season that allowed us and opened the door to Europe for us, no matter which competition it is we deservedly are there because we did it on the pitch and we achieved it but after that. It is not us to be blamed.

    "We are very sympathetic for the fans of Palace, extreme sympathy for their players and for their coaching staff, especially Oliver Glasner. But please, don't put Forest as the bad guys because we are not."
