**However, we've attempted the task nonetheless. Here are some moments worth taking another look at...**

#### **1. A South London takeover**

So many of you headed over to the Saxony state in Germany, via an array of different modes of transport. Whether it was by plane, train or automobile, in the end it was a Palace takeover of Leipzig.

Even a day or two prior to matchday, there was plenty of red and blue on display throughout the city. 

As with every European trip this season, the sheer volume of support was phenomenal.

#### **2. Glasner's rallying cry**

For anyone who did wake up on matchday after a late one the night before, this was the perfect tonic to get you in the mood.

Oliver Glasner's final pre-match message, as with the FA Cup Final 12 months earlier, would prove almost poetic.

Oliver Glasner | Let's make history... Again.

#### **3. The Fanzone**

For so long the Conference League quest was about being "on our way to Leipzig". 

But when we finally reached our destination this is what it is all about.

Palace fans enjoying the sunshine, music, and mixing during some great pre-match entertainment, which included an interview with current players Eddie Nketiah and Cheick Doucouré.

#### **4. Club legends getting involved**

On the theme of the Fanzone, plenty of Palace legends were at Marktplatz and around the city on matchday. 

We heard from Mark Bright, John Salako, Scott Dann and Joel Ward as the build-up continued. 

While the current team made history, we can't forget those who laid the groundwork to get the club to where it is today.

#### **5. That Tifo...**

Wembley set the tone for Palace displays to take the breathe away. But this one, displayed just minutes before kick-off, was equally stunning. 

Congratulations to everyone involved in the Tifo. As a rallying cry, it certainly fitted the occasion.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Palace and Rayo fans bringing the atmosphere 🙌 <br><br>Who had the best UEFA Conference League final tifo? <a href="https://t.co/7KqUaPVfDo">pic.twitter.com/7KqUaPVfDo</a></p>&mdash; Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) <a href="https://x.com/footballontnt/status/2059716792008810965?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 27, 2026</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.x.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

#### **6. An electric atmosphere** 

Leading on from the Tifo display, but just how loud was the Leipzig Stadium? In the first few minutes of that game, it was almost deafening.

The backing the Eagles received throughout the game was extraordinary. With Rayo fans also in tremendous voice and making the most of their first major cup final appearance. At so many times in the evening, the atmosphere was genuinely moving. 

The singing, colour and general backing from the stands at both ends befitted a European final.

#### **7. That goal celebration**

What else is there left to say about the goal that won us a European trophy? 

The goal itself from a purely technical standpoint won't be the best of Jean-Philippe Mateta's 62 for Palace to date. But it was his most important.

The celebrations – both in the stands and on the pitch – will live long in the memory.

#### **8. The final whistle**

The moment a dream became reality. What a moment. 

A nine-month, 17-match, campaign concluding with silverware. Drink it in.

#### **9. Lifting the trophy**

The moment it all sunk in. Once we've witnessed Oliver Glasner's magnificent pitch dive and a magnificent rendition of *Glad All Over*,** the players begin to collect their medals with the captain up last.

Dean Henderson lifts the trophy high into the Leipzig night sky.

Palace have become European champions.

The Trophy Lift

#### **10. The scenes at Selhurst!**

The reverberations of the evening were felt way beyond Leipzig. In South London and beyond, fans celebrated lifting silverware. 

Back at our official viewing party at Selhurst Park, joyous fans head onto the pitch to savour the moment.

CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE!

## Our Senegalese Sarr

> Ismaïla Sarr became the club’s third signing of the 2024/25 summer transfer window after joining on a five-year deal from Olympique de Marseille.

The 26-year-old attacker possesses plenty of experience of English football, having spent four years at Watford – recording 34 goals and 22 assists in 131 games – prior to joining Marseille, whom he helped reach the semi-finals of the UEFA Europa League last season.

Sarr's career began in French football with Metz, before moving to Rennes and leading the club into Europe, as well as winning their first Coupe de France in almost half a century.

At international level, he has been a mainstay of the Senegal national side, earning 64 caps, scoring 13 goals and winning the Africa Cup of Nations in 2021.

His career has also been defined by his eye for the spectacular, having won Goal of the Season awards in both the Football League and the Europa League.

Sarr was ever-present in every Premier League matchday squad in his first season at the club, playing in all 38 games, while also featuring in a further nine cup games. He scored 11 goals across all competitions, with eight additional assists - including a stunning effort against rivals Brighton & Hove Albion and a brace against Aston Villa in the FA Cup semi-final.

UEFA CONFERENCE LEAGUE WINNERS COLLECTION

It is no small feat to be not only available from August to May – not least with the demands of 17 additional European matches, in which the full-back featured 13 times.

But Mitchell managed it, starting 36 of Palace's Premier League matches (only failing to complete 90 minutes on two occasions, against Chelsea at home and Liverpool away), and making two substitute appearances (away to Bournemouth and home to Arsenal).

In doing so, Mitchell played more Premier League minutes this season (3,255) than in any of his previous campaigns – and the third-most of any Palace player overall (after Maxence Lacroix on 4,842 and Dean Henderson – who played 37 times in the Premier League this season, missing only our draw against Leeds in March – on 4,680).

But which other Eagles have done that most elusive of achievements and completed a full Premier League season, featuring in all 38 matches of a campaign? Let’s take a look…

## **2024/25**

Last season, **Henderson** started all 38 Premier League games for the club this season, keeping 11 clean sheets, whilst **Ismaïla Sarr** made 30 starts and eight substitute appearances, recording an impressive eight league goals and seven assists.

A word, too, for three other Eagles: Jean-Philippe Mateta, Daniel Muñoz and Mitchell all came close to joining the club this season, featuring in 37 Premier League matches; Mateta missed out against Ipswich in March; Muñoz against Arsenal in December; and Mitchell was on the bench for our penultimate match of the season versus Wolves.

## **2023/24**

**Joachim Andersen** was the sole Palace player to join our Premier League ever-presents club in 2023/24, having started all 38 of the Eagles' league matches before his switch to Fulham in the summer.

The Denmark international falls, remarkably, just three minutes short of having played every league minute of the campaign – coming off in the closing stages of our final-day win over Aston Villa, albeit for the worthy cause of giving James Tomkins a fitting send-off at Selhurst Park.

Mitchell once again was close to joining the club, playing 37 times in the Premier League in 23/24, missing solely a mid-season loss to Liverpool.

## **2022/23**

**Ebere Eze** and **Jordan Ayew** both started against Nottingham Forest on the final day of the 2022/23 season to take their place amongst this select club.

It was a particularly impressive feat for Eze, who was back playing his first full season following a terribly unfortunate Achilles injury.

Eze scored 10 goals and created four more across a campaign so impressive it earned him his then-first call-up to the England national squad, while Ayew’s four goals and three assists proved vital in securing safety for the Eagles under Roy Hodgson.

## **2019/20**

As with almost every record at Crystal Palace Football Club, **Wilfried Zaha** makes an appearance. Under Roy Hodgson, he remained the first name on the teamsheet: “The honest answer is that when Wilf is fit, he will play.”

Zaha scored four times that season as Palace finished 14th. Jordan Ayew – top scorer that season – and James McArthur were just a game short of completing the set.

Gareth Southgate, 1994/95

## **2018/19**

The first full season under Roy Hodgson, and a regular feature of his squad management began to present itself: consistent performers were rewarded with regular starts. As a result, three players were ever-present throughout the campaign.

**James McArthur** and **Luka Milivojevic**, two legends of the Palace midfield, featured in all 38 games, with the latter the Eagles' top scorer with 12 goals. **Andros Townsend** was also undroppable, scoring six times throughout a wholly successful season.

## **2016/17**

Another club legend, another Premier League clean sweep – and it’s **Joel Ward**, of course. Despite a managerial change during the season as Alan Pardew made way for Sam Allardyce, Ward remained crucial.

But that doesn’t tell the full story. Ward started every single game, missing just two minutes of the season and playing almost 300 minutes more than the next most used outfield player: Christian Benteke.

## **2013/14**

In Palace’s first season back in the Premier League, they looked for leaders. They found the ultimate midfield warrior: **Mile Jedinak**. 

The legendary club captain started every game as Palace finished 11th and stayed up comfortably.

## **And finally…**

In Palace’s previous Premier League spells, only a select few have managed to complete the set. 

**Wayne Routledge** featured in every game in 2004/05 while **Gareth Southgate** was ever-present in 1994/95 – a particularly impressive achievement given the 42-game season of the early 90s. 

Also completing a 42 match campaign was **Eddie McGoldrick** in the inaugural Premier League season of 1992/93.

Away from Palace's European heroics, when Tyrick Mitchell came on for the second-half of our final league game of the season against Arsenal, he finally cemented his place in a club he had twice previously come close to joining: players who had featured in every single game of a Palace Premier League campaign.

Mr Reliable: Palace’s 25/26 ever-present joins select club of Eagles

Ahead of the 23rd iteration of the world’s biggest international football tournament, which this year will be held across Canada, Mexico and the United States, a number of Eagles are expected to be in action in pre-World Cup warm-up friendlies.

The 13 players called up for Palace this season (including Evann Guessand, who is currently on loan) smashes the previous club record (three call-ups in 2022) out of the water. It is the third-highest total from a Premier League club (after Manchester City’s 19 and Arsenal’s 16).

Indeed, only five other club sides in Europe – the Premier League’s top two, plus Bayern Munich (18), Paris Saint-Germain (16) and Barcelona (15) – will boast more.

**Ahead of the World Cup Finals, however, numerous Eagles will be in friendly action – so check out when and where they’re playing, below!**

#### **How are our players getting on?**

Fresh from winning Palace’s Goal of the Season award, **Jørgen Strand Larsen** was first to feature – and duly showed his sharpness by scoring twice in a 3-1 friendly win over Sweden on Monday evening.

Just five days after helping the Eagles win the Conference League in Leipzig, the Palace striker played the first 65 minutes at Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo, and opened the scoring after nine minutes with the slightest of headers from Julian Ryerson’s cross-shot, before powering home from a corner shortly before half-time.

Later on Monday evening, **Daniel Muñoz** featured off the bench for the final few minutes of Colombia's 3-1 friendly win over Costa Rica at Estadio El Campín in Bogotá – with **Jefferson Lerma** an unused substitute – whilst **Owen Goodman** was an unused substitute for Canada in their 2-0 win over Uzbekistan at Commonwealth Stadium, Edmonton.

Then on Tuesday, **Chadi Riad** won his fifth cap for Morocco as they continued their build-up for the finals. They earned a comfortable 4-0 win over fellow African nation Madagascar. 

Riad came off the bench at half-time and completed the second 45 minutes for the AFCON champions picking up a yellow card in the 61st minute.

Whilst in Cardiff, **Brennan Johnson** was an unused substitute for Wales as they drew 1-1 with Ghana, in what was the first meeting between the sides.
