Crystal Palace reach first major European final

History was made at Selhurst Park as Crystal Palace defeated Shakhtar Donetsk 2-1 (5-2 on aggregate) to reach the Europa Conference League Final.

An own goal from Pedrinho and a clinical strike from Ismaïla Sarr were enough to see the Eagles through.

Despite a consolation goal from Eguinaldo, the atmosphere in South London was celebratory as the club reached its first-ever major continental showpiece.

Oliver Glasner’s men have been the surprise package of European football this spring and will now prepare for a historic final later this month.

For a club that is used to fighting mid-table mediocrity, the chance to lift a major trophy has galvanized the fanbase and secured Glasner’s legacy at the club.
