Palace Where They Belong After Year-Long 'Detour', Says Glasner
Jean-Philippe Mateta scored the winner as Palace claimed their first European trophy and completed a treble of major honors under Oliver Glasner.
- On Thursday, Crystal Palace secured their maiden European title by defeating Rayo Vallecano 1-0 in the UEFA Conference League final, with Jean-Philippe Mateta scoring the decisive second-half goal.
- Manager Oliver Glasner, who took charge in February 2024, delivered three major honors in two years; the Conference League victory follows last season's FA Cup triumph and Community Shield win against Liverpool.
- Defender Tyrick Mitchell described the win as "pure delight" after a grueling 60-game season, while teammate Wharton, whose shot set up the goal, said, "You can't put the feeling into words."
- Glasner noted a "one-year delay" after UEFA revoked their Europa League qualification last season due to ownership rules; the Conference League victory now secures that spot for next season.
- With his departure confirmed, Glasner credited his players for bringing silverware to Selhurst Park, stating his time at Palace was "a good chapter to read" before other chapters follow.
