Crystal Palace will face Rayo Vallecano in the Conference League final on 27 May
Crystal Palace desperately did not want to be in the Conference League - now they are one game from winning it and creating more club history.

Having won the FA Cup and Community Shield in 2025 at Wembley, their remarkable European journey started in a Swiss courtroom, unsuccessfully appealing their demotion into the Conference League from the second-tier Europa League.
But since then, Palace have not looked back.
