The Cherries European dream is closer than ever
A few months ago, AFC Bournemouthâs season appeared to be drifting towards disappointment.
The Cherries were sat 15th in the Premier League table, uncertainty surrounded Andoni Iraola's future, and the sale of Antoine Semenyo to Manchester City threatened to completely derail the campaign. Instead, Bournemouth have responded with one of the most remarkable turnarounds in European football.
Their 1-0 victory away at Fulham extended an astonishing 16-match unbeaten run in the Premier League - currently the longest active streak across Europeâs top five leagues. That result left Bournemouth in sixth place and moved them to the brink of a historic first qualification for European football.
And remarkably, the dream may not stop there. Champions League football is still mathematically possible for the Cherries. If Aston Villa finish fifth and also win the Europa League final against Freiburg, then sixth place in the Premier League would secure a Champions League spot - opening the door for Bournemouth to reach Europeâs biggest competition for the first time in their history.
The south coast club now head into their final two matches of the season against Manchester City and Nottingham Forest victories could complete one of the greatest achievements in the clubâs history. Their unbeaten run has already seen them outperform some of Europeâs biggest sides, with only (14) and the Citizens (13) coming close to matching their current form.
