Full-time: Crystal Palace 1-0 Rayo Vallecano Crystal Palace have won the UEFA Conference League. They are on their way to the Europa League. A European trophy. Another European journey. The most incredible night in Leipzig #CPFC

GOAL JEAN-PHILIPPE MATETA PUTS PALACE AHEAD

Incredible atmosphere inside the RB Arena here in Leipzig. Palace fans making a racket, Rayo Vallecano fans also so impressive in support of their side. Palace just about on the front foot in the opening stages, pressing intensely, but no chances yet. #CPFC

Palace are in a European cup final tonight and Oliver Glasner has leant on all his experience to prepare them. He is superstitious, but meticulous. Five hour meetings with his staff, not training at the stadium and "getting a feeling". Differences are mainly psychological Free to read 🔓 #CPFC

An incredible turnaround for Jean-Philippe Mateta means he will be integral for Palace in the Conference League final & earned him a World Cup place with France Vindicated his decision not to undergo surgery. Could yet remain at Palace next season if circumstances work out, new deal or not. #CPFC

The full quote isn't as bad as the one in the headline but this is such an incredibly stupid comparison, even if you only take it into account for banning social media for under-16s

A fond farewell to Selhurst Park for Oliver Glasner yesterday despite the result He deserves to go down as Palace's greatest ever manager, their most successful and he has pushed them beyond their wildest dreams. One last game to go... All eyes are fixed on Leipzig #CPFC

- Subsidising consumption in the face of a supply shock - reducing incentives to drive less/switch to EVs - using up limited fiscal space to help better-off drivers rather than the most vulnerable. Hard to think of a worse policy right now.

Chris Richards is in a race against time to play in the UEFA Conference League final after tearing his ankle ligaments in Palace's 2-2 draw with Brentford on Sunday Glasner puts his chances at 50-50 and says his ankle is very swollen. Possible repercussions for USMNT if slower recovery #CPFC

Keep this in mind when people claim cars mean business — closing Central #Madrid to cars over holidays resulted in a 9.5% boost in retail spending on its main shopping street: STUDY. There was also a 71% drop in air pollution. Via @carltonreid.com in @forbes.com. #citymakingmath #citiesforpeople

Dango Ouattara equalises for Brentford. Long throw flicked on by Sepp Van Den Berg and headed in at the back post by Ouattara. Not good enough from Palace. They also should be out of sight with the number of chances they've had in the game as a whole #CPFC

ADAM WHARTON SCORES FOR PALACE FOR THE FIRST TIME!

Not entirely convinced this is a foul on Ismaila Sarr but the screen I have is not especially good resolution and the sun is on it. The foul, if it is one, is from Brentford goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher #CPFC

Palace had managed the Man City pressure well to start with but then two poor defensive decisions, over committing, have seen them fall apart #CPFC

Jaydee Canvot has had a rapid rise & impressive ability to recover from errors Teenager is showing Palace that losing Marc Guehi was manageable after all But despite similarities to Guehi, he says he wants to "play like me". Physical prowess too: "He was like Megatron" #CPFC Free to read 🔓

Enjoying the Geordie shouting out at ministers as they enter No 10

The idea that you can standardise and make subjective calls suddenly become objective by VAR and then the referee re-watching them dozens of times is laughable

Full-time: Palace 2-2 Everton A bit of a crazy game. Very open in the end without a huge amount of quality. Probably a fair result but Palace had quite a few half chances late on. Palace will be mathematically safe from relegation if West Ham fail to beat Arsenal this afternoon. #CPFC

Mateta gets in behind and holds off Tarkowski but his chip is just over the bar #CPFC

Iliman N'Diaye denied by a fingertip Dean Henderson save

Adam Wharton hits the outside of the post with a right footed shot from the edge of the box. Great effort to control the ball and take it away from the Everton player in one touch to be able to take that shot #CPFC

Palace are doing everything BUT scoring here. Munoz cross deep to Mitchell headed down, Sarr just fails to reach it at the back post to put it in #CPFC

Ismaila Sarr maybe should put Palace ahead. Munoz heads a deep Canvot ball in back across goal and Sarr is coming onto the ball but doesn't get enough power on his header #CPFC

Goal! Mateta equalises! Palace 2-2 Everton #CPFC

Dean Henderson tips James Garner's powerful free-kick over the bar. Likely that was going in so a good save #CPFC

Palace end their best, slickest move of the game by Jaydee Canvot smashing the ball well wide from a very long way out. Strange decision to shoot from there in that situation #CPFC

Goal. Beto makes it 2-1 to Everton. Maxence Lacroix gets himself in a sort of tangle and Beto takes advantage. Not good defending #CPFC

Half-time: Palace 1-1 Everton Not a classic. A relatively even game and the scoreline is probably fair so far. Palace came into it more as the half progressed but haven't looked great #CPFC

Some Palace fans in the Holmesdale — think led by the HF? — are singing "we've got Super Oli Glasner" #CPFC

Goal! Ismaila Sarr equalises for Palace with a thumping shot Palace 1-1 Everton #CPFC

Adam Wharton can't keep his shot down on the half volley after a free-kick comes out to him. Should do better with no real pressure #CPFC

Goal. Everton lead from a corner. Headed on to Tarkowski at the back post and he side foots it in unmarked. Has been all Everton in the first six minutes Palace 0-1 Everton #CPFC

England head coach Thomas Tuchel in attendance here at Selhurst Tyrick Mitchell should ask for a word #CPFC

Have been injured (mildly) for past 5 weeks and have only run 3k My own fault for doubling my mileage from February to March but incredibly annoying & painful at times But recovered sufficiently to give parkrun a go this morning and did a pretty good time Most importantly it felt so good again

This isn't a dream, Palace are in a European final Managed occasion. Incredible atmosphere, even Oliver Glasner joined in Probably the greatest ever night at Selhurst Park & they go to Leipzig full of belief "When you have already shown something, you know you can do it again" #CPFC Read free 🔓

Hackney's new deputy mayor was born after Girls Aloud released "Biology".

The coverage of elections is always awful and shows some up some of the worst national level journalism (and some of the best local journalism) but I think somehow it's worse that I can't help but watch it

Goal! Ismaila Sarr! Palace 2-1 (5-2) Shakthar Donetsk #CPFC

Goal. 1-1 on the night. Fantastic finish from Equinaldo. 4-2 aggregate. #CPFC

Goal! Daniel Munoz. Palace lead 1-0 on the night and 4-1 on aggregate Not sure how he managed to get that in from such a tight angle. Incredible #CPFC

Similar to the first leg, Shakhtar are showing a lot of attacking threat but not much composure when it matters most #CPFC

Goal! Yeremy Pino with a perfectly composed finish after Jean-Philippe Mateta's flick on Palace are surely on their way to Leipzig... #CPFC

Oliver Glasner says the decision to not involve Christantus Uche of late is "nothing personal" in light of reported comments he made that the manager "doesn't like" him. Forward has barely played this season and wasn't registered for the knockout phase of the Conference League #CPFC

It's just never ever going to happen for Raducanu again is it? For all her apparent mistakes there does seem to be some awful luck as well The hate she receives is also horrific and unfortunately this will probably increase it

Hednesford Town, whose assistant manager is former Palace defender Danny Butterfield, just won promotion to the National League North. Last minute equaliser in the play off final, it was still level after extra time and Hednesford won on penalties. Interviewed him in 2019 – read for free #CPFC

This is a point about the substance of argument not who it comes from but the argument people often make about environmentalism is that it has unrealistic expectations & people won't get behind action bc it sacrifices too much of what they want & they won't shift behaviour regardless. (Continued 🧵)

Oliver Glasner says that Chadi Riad went off with cramp. Will Hughes was unwell but would have started and Borna Sosa has an issue with his pubic bone. All three half-time substitutions were planned #CPFC
