What It Means
Coupled with our 4-0 win over Lech Poznan on matchday one, Palace have three points from our opening two Europa League ties.
But despite the defeat in Lyon, the Eagles are still in the top half of the league phase table. Palace sit in 15th place, tucked between Dinamo Zagreb and Italian giants AC Milan.
If the league phase was to finish right now, that would be enough for a play-off round spot, as a seeded team.
The Eagles are one of seven teams with three points from two games, but have the best goal difference of those teams (+3).
Juventus are the current pace setters after a 2-1 away win at Celta Vigo left them top of the table with maximum points, narrowly edging out Bayer Leverkusen on goals scored.
