Crystal Palace, which defeated Manchester City 1-0 in the final, won the English FA Cup for the first time in its history.
The team, which reached the final of this tournament in 1990 and 2016, lost to United, another representative of Manchester, in both cases, Idman.biz reports.
Located in the Selhurst district of south London, Crystal Palace took 3rd place in the Premier League for the best time in its 119-year history, which coincided with the 1990/91 season.
Since the 2013/14 season, when it regularly played in the top league, the team has managed to enter the top "ten" twice: in 2015 and 2024, it finished the championship in 10th place. It is currently in 12th place in the Premier League with two rounds remaining.
In the Championship division, they were able to become champions 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 was a qualifying round for the then UEFA Cup, and even then they lost both matches to the Turkish Samsunspor - 0:2 and 0:2. The club, which won a prize of 2 million pounds sterling as the winner of the English FA Cup, also qualified for the next UEFA Europa League league stage for the first time.
