The "Etihad Gauntlet" proved too much for a rotated Palace side as Manchester City kept their title hopes alive with a clinical 3-0 victory. Despite a bright start that saw the Eagles nearly lead through Jean-Philippe Mateta, City's quality told with two quick-fire goals before the break. While the second half saw a spirited effort from the bench, the focus remains firmly on managing the squad's fitness for the historic date in Leipzig.

The Eagles head to the Etihad Stadium this Wednesday for a midweek clash that carries massive implications at both ends of the table. While Palace are still basking in the glow of reaching the Conference League Final, they face a Manchester City side that is practically perfect on home turf in May. With Pep Guardiola's men sitting just five points behind league leaders Arsenal with a game in hand, the stakes couldn't be higher for the hosts-while Palace look to play the role of ultimate spoilers.

History has been made at a rocking Selhurst Park! For the first time in their 120-year history, Crystal Palace are heading to a major European final. While the aggregate score reads a comfortable 5-2, the second leg was a night of high tension and "goosebump" moments under the South London lights. Oliver Glasner’s 50th win as manager proved to be his most significant, as the Eagles navigated a spirited Shakhtar fightback to book their flight to Leipzig.

Palace head to the Vitality Stadium this Sunday for a clash of two sides with very different end-of-season motivations. While the Eagles are still riding the wave of their historic 3-1 midweek victory over Shakhtar Donetsk in the Conference League, they return to domestic action looking to bounce back from a tough afternoon at Anfield. Facing a Bournemouth side on a record-breaking 14-match unbeaten run, Oliver Glasner's men must balance their Premier League pride with the need to stay fresh for the second leg at Selhurst Park.
