Crystal Palace won the English FA Cup for the first time in its history, defeating Manchester City 1-0 in the final.
Idman.biz reports that the team, which also reached the final of this tournament in 1990 and 2016, was defeated by Manchester United, another representative of Manchester, in both cases.
Crystal Palace, based in the Selhurst area of South London, has reached 3rd place in the Premier League at best in its 119-year history, which dates back to the 1990/91 season.
The team has been able to enter the top "ten" twice since the 2013/14 season, when it regularly played in the top league: in 2015 and 2024, it finished the championship in 10th place. It is currently in 12th place in the Premier League with two rounds left to finish.
In the "Championship" division, it was able to become the champion twice - in the 1978/79 and 1993/94 seasons.
Crystal Palace played in Europe only in the 1998/99 season in the Intertoto Cup, which had a qualifying character for the then UEFA Cup, and then lost in both matches with Turkish "Samsunspor" - 0:2 and 0:2. As the winner of the English FA Cup, the club, which won a prize of 2 million pounds sterling, also qualified for the league stage of the next UEFA Europa League for the first time.
