years since.... Palace's last extra-time. That came in the 2016 FA Cup Final. Thankfully this one turned out a little different.

AEK Larnaca are the fifth side Palace have played exactly three times. Accrington Stanley, Kettering Town, Yeovil Town and, coincidentally...Fiorentina!
Games unbeaten for the Eagles in the UEFA Conference League.
