Crystal Palace to play in Europa League after historic FA Cup win over Manchester City
The Eagles break a 120-year drought, earning first major trophy with the FA Cup and a European competition spot
Crystal Palace has made history by qualifying for the UEFA Europa League for the first time, following their stunning 1-0 victory over Manchester City in the 2025 FA Cup final. Eberechi Eze’s sensational volley, set up by Daniel Muñoz, sealed the win and sent the club’s supporters into raptures at Wembley.
The dramatic win over Pep Guardiola’s dominant City side didn’t just earn Palace their first-ever major silverware – it also opened the doors to European competition for the 2025/26 season.
The triumph marks a new chapter in the club’s long history, with manager Oliver Glasner hailed as a hero for masterminding the underdog victory.
Palace’s goalkeeper Dean Henderson was pivotal, saving a first-half penalty from Julian Álvarez and making a string of crucial saves that kept the Premier League champions at bay.
The win not only rewrote the record books but is expected to boost the club’s profile, player market value and future transfer strategies.
With European football on the horizon, Selhurst Park is already buzzing with anticipation. Ticket demand is expected to surge and sponsorship interest has reportedly increased significantly.
