With Manchester City, Manchester United and Tottenham all out of form, could Bournemouth qualify for Europe for the first time in their history?
Their fans think so – they were singing about European qualification during the win at Old Trafford.
“I think they have to enjoy it a lot because normally it doesn’t happen a lot of times that you come to these stadiums,” added Iraola.
“I’ve come as a player and it’s difficult to have this kind of result, so obviously we have to enjoy, they have to enjoy.
“But we know how much it costs to win one Premier League game, just one against anyone.
“To win one Premier League game is very, very difficult, so we have to continue the same way otherwise the results will be much worse, for sure.”
In December 2023, Bournemouth owner Bill Foley said he was confident the club could qualify for Europe within five years.
More recently, he told BBC Sport: “We have big aspirations, but we are patient.
“Our goal this year is modest. Can we move to the top eight or nine, maybe even sneak into Europe?
“Our real goal is to play in Europe, to give our players a chance to experience Europe and do it with little Bournemouth.”
Cherries fans might need to dust off their passports if their team keep on impressing like they did at Old Trafford.
