Welcome to the Football Daily Crystal Palace have won their first ever European trophy they beat Raya Viacano 1-0 in the Conference League final in Leipzig so that now means three trophies in 12 months for the club let's take you to the moment where they won it here's Alistair Bruce Paul I can see the whistle in the referee's lips

they have done it It's another trophy for Crystal Palace. What an incredible 12 months it has been for this football club. Just over a year ago, it was the FA Cup final at Wembley, won by Eberchie Ezra. And then a year later, on a beautiful Barbie night in Leipzig, they celebrate again. They win a European trophy in their first ever European campaign. The Community Shield has come in between that as well, 120 years without a trophy, and now they've got three in the cabinet.

What is it, they say, about those London buses? What a win for Crystal Palace, what a night for the fans, what a job Oliver Glasner and his players have done to give these fans a night they will never, ever forget. Metetta with the winner and the celebrations again, along to Crystal Palace. They've won in Europe. Memories. Memories made for a lifetime.

Just listen at that noise after the final whistle. The Crystal Palace supporters, they've done their self-proud and their team have done them proud as well. They've been absolutely excellent on the field tonight. It's not been the prettiest of games at times, but they've worked hard, they've stuck to the game plan. The big players in the big moments, Adam Wharton, Mateta. They've stepped up when it was really asked of them,

and they've found away Crystal Palace. against a difficult opponent. Many, many special memories made here tonight and the scenes and the pictures that will last forever. Brilliant occasion. Crystal Palace players all embracing, hugging, rejoicing on the pitch. Viacano players beaten, consoling each other.

The right hand side of the stadium awash with joy and singing a noise as it has been all night. Crystal Palace starting the final, as favourites tonight. Scrappy first half weren't at their best but came out as a totally different team at the start of the second half

and Jean-Falit Matetta is the man to score the crucial goal to win the latest trophy in what's been a roller coaster an incredible 12 months or so for Crystal Palace Football Club. They've beaten Viacano by a goal to nil. And there are embraces

everywhere on that pitch in the Leipzig Arena at the moment. Dean Henderson and Oliver Glaser embracing whilst teammates and other players dance. And as far as the match is concerned, Paul, they

once they scored, they kept Ryvao Cano at arm's length, didn't they? They were the better side. They looked like the Premier League side. We always talk about the Premier League and it's been such a strong league and you look at the fact that two English clubs have won two European competitions already and we've got another one to come at the weekend with Arsenal

there. You see the dominance of the Premier League side. Palace went into this as favourites, but the first half was nervy, it was edgy, they didn't play to their full potential. And it was almost like Oliver Glasner had said that to them at half time. Like you are better than these. Believe in yourself. Take more opportunities. Press higher up their field. Take more risks and impose your strength on the game. And that's exactly what they did. They looked like the better side in the second half. And their goal was never troubled. I can't actually think of a Dean Henderson say No he didn't he was very very under-employed

From a Viacano point of view We analysed their team before the game And we looked at the goals that they haven't scored And they are pretty toothless They create chances but they don't really take many chances And saying that tonight, Pallas kept them at bay very, very well They protected Dean Henderson excellently And kept everything in front of him outside the box

I don't know if Clinton's there yet Are you there Clinton? No, I'm here, I've been listening to the whole time. You are that? I thought you got on a lap of your house to celebrate the victory. I could have done that, but I'm professional. I'm just trying to be professional.

You don't have to... They haven't got time to get around his house. I knew that I was coming. You don't have to be professional at all. Oh, moments like this is what you live for on Chappas. And yeah, it's fantastic. The club deserve it. When you're born and bred in South London and get special moments,

I was there at the FA Cup when they beat Man City. and to watch it here with my family is. Yeah, it's amazing. What a great achievement from Crystal Palace. But yeah, this is a special one tonight because I just listened to Robo and what Ali was saying. And I think the 15 minutes, 20 minutes after half time,

I thought Palace were outstanding and that's where they won the game. Because these are moments that many are Crystal Palace fan, probably the majority of Crystal Palace fans, would never have thought they would ever see. And that's never a criticism of players, or of the board or a manager. But history tells you, or it did up until 12 months ago,

history tells you that Crystal Palace fans don't see this. Yeah, I didn't see it. I didn't think I'd see this in my lifetime. I'd be honest with you. I didn't think there would be me and win two major trophies like they've won. So, as I said, huge credit to everyone at that football club from the hierarchy down. And they employed a manager in Oliver Glasner, who not a lot of us knew about Chappas when he came to the.

Premier League. I knew what he'd done at Frankfurt, but I didn't think he'd have the impact that he's had on Crystal Palace. And this is what I'm saying, you've always got to keep believing. Every team to do it. Palace can go on and do it. Every team could got to believe they can go and do it. It's a great achievement from everyone at that football club.

Talk to me about Matetta's finish, which but it'll never win a goal of the month, but it's instinctive and the ball comes to him quickly off the goalkeeper. Chapas, I made a living out of that. I couldn't strike a ball from outside the box,

but one thing you do, they're the best goals, the reaction goes. I think Adam Wharton does ever so well, and the keeper parries it, thinks he parries it into the danger, I mean, away from the goal. And Mattetta reacts quickly, and it's a difficult finish because you have to control that. If you get the wrong contact, it can go wide, it can go over the bar, but he controls it ever so while.

It might not even hit his boot. It might have hit his shin, but yeah, it's a good, well-controlled finish. But what I liked about him is in the six-yard box, and that's where you want your strikers, and he's the first one to react. He reacts before the defenders, and it's a really good finish from Mattel. I thought deserved it. I thought he led the line ever so well.

And I said it, I said it to Palace fans. A few months ago, I said, you'll need Bateta. Not worth booing him. Stick with him, because he'll have a big moment in the season. And what has he done? He's had a big moment tonight. Is that the key to his goal? The anticipation?

Yeah, and he's in the area. So he reacts. So he's the one expects. The defenders is difficult for them to react, but he's the one. react. He sees Adam Wharton shot. He sees the goalkeepers going to parry it. And everyone says, oh, it's just fortunate you're in the right place at the right time. You react as a striker because you don't, you see a lot of strikers.

They're the first ones to react in and around the six yard box. And I still think he's got a bit to do. Everyone says, oh, it's an easy finish. He should score. You've seen strikers miss from there. So he reacts ever so well. And I just like that he's in and amongst it in the six yard box. Too many times, chap, you see strikers outside the box. He was alive inside the box. He said to TNT postmatch, I feel fantastic. I feel fantastic.

We did it. First time in Europe. Now it's time to celebrate. Crazy moment. It's incredible. We gave everything intensity. I'm tired right now. I give everything.

The team did everything. And that's why we win today. I'm always with them with the fans. They support me as a player as a lot. We did it for them too. You've got to admire his rise through the seasons, haven't you? Oh, definitely. I remember it when Doggy Free.

When he signed there, I said to Doug, this guy, no way, I'm not having him. Why weren't you having it? Look, he couldn't control the football. He was nowhere, Nick. I just thought every time it came up to him, it was bouncing off him. He didn't look like he was going to score goals. And I remember doing an interview with him, Chappas, at the start of the season at the training ground. And what a lovely guy, by the way, one of my favourite footballers.

And he was just saying he didn't really have the confidence back then. He always believed in himself, but managers didn't believe in himself. You know what changed Chappas? He tucked his shirt in and he was unstoppable. after he tucked his shirt. He was no looking back. He's the old-fashioned centre forward, but his rise has been outstanding.

The more you believe in him, the more confidence he gets. And look, he's won this and he's going to the World Cup with France. It could be a great summer for him. When you did that interview with him, were you honest with him that you weren't having him at the start? Yeah, yeah, it was a master class of finishing.

So you know where he scored today. That's all I'm going to say, chance. Oh, right, okay. I'll just leave it there. But yeah, I did tell him that. I did tell him that. to took his shirt and you've turned his career around. No, I told him to be in a six-yard box and tap it in, Robbo.

He has been vital for them, Paul, hasn't he? He's been superb. And the way that they play with that figurehead as a number nine. And like we said about him today in the first half, he had a fairly quiet game and he struggled to find space. He was getting crowded out by their two central defenders. But because he's such a big unit, because he's such a big presence, he attracts the attention of others around him,

which then allows others on his side to pick up the space to run into the gaps that are left by the same. central defenders that he's occupying. He's a real handful. Clinton Morrison and Paul Robinson are with us and Alice to Bruce Ball is watching the start of the presentation. The officials are just going through or have just gone through and the Palace players are forming a guard of honor, Ali, for Raya Vaikana. Yeah, we've been talking about it for the last couple of days, the mutual respect between the two clubs,

the organisations, the sets of fans and the players as well. So it's the victors and the vanquished. The vanquished are Viacano, the palace supporters all around us, applauding the beaten Spanish team who slowly trudge towards that stage. Just while you were talking to Clinton and Paul there, Mark, I was actually watching Viacano. And as a team, and I know they regularly do this after every game, particularly the home games,

they actually climbed over the advertising hoardings and stood arm in arm as an entire squad and just shared, I mean, it was five, six minutes they were standing there just looking at their fans, their fans applauding them and singing at them. That connection will never die and they'll hope for great moments, great nights like this again, but they're not the ones to win the trophy. That big moment is coming for Crystal Palace soon. Absolutely.

And by winning the conference league, they're into the Europa League for next season. And it means that so far English clubs have had two finals and won two. The Europa League, last year with Astavilla, the Conference League now with Palace. Glasner just went, I don't believe it. Oliver Glasner's done the cleansement. He's gone running down the tunnel of the palace players.

He got the Palace fans going beforehand and he's done a full out, full frontal dive before going up to the stage to collect his medal. And there is someone you always think is very dry and very straight, you know, and Burley cracks a smile. And that was brilliant. Just had a big embrace with the chairman as well.

He's had a big embrace, exchange words as he's going up, walking past the trophy. I'm not so sure this story's finished. I want to get Clinton's opinion after this. Okay. So Oliver Glasner is up there. Straight face back on again now. He's at his fun. He's standing there with his medal and he's waiting for his players.

Dean Henderson, the club captain, the first team captain, the goalkeeper, is about to get his hands on another precious prize for Crystal Palace Football Club. up last year. Community Shield at the start of the season. But a European trophy tonight as the glitter and the fireworks go off. Dean Henderson lifts the trophy above his head, rejoicing teammates jumping up and down behind him in celebration. Gold glitter falling everywhere all over the pitch. Jean-Philippe Matetta, the goal scorer, showing off some dance moves.

and a night these Crystal Palace fans who were here to witness it in Leipzig will never, ever forget. Crystal Palace have won a European trophy. ABC Radio 5 Live. Patrick Kilty. Stumbling your way into Saturday mornings with great guests. Good morning, Jimmy Nesbitt. Good morning, the party. You're terrible.

Kids taking down commentators. You've wiped the floor with our commentator, Kate. How does it feel? It feels nice. Football chance from. the gods take me home I get wrong

and the last celebrate the host the better Patrick Kilty Saturday's from 9 listen on BBC Sounds on the football

daily podcast with Mark Chapman there are great scenes in Leipzig for Crystal Palace and their fans is, is Glasner with them Ali or is he got to see

a physio after that's the moment of the night isn't it I know isn't it Oliver Glasner the Clemsman. Where is he? No, he's at the back. You know, right? He's at the back. So the players are front and centre here.

And Oliver Glastner, yes, he's just behind them. Dean Henderson is in the penalty area away to our right. And Oliver Glasner is there with a big smile on his face and clapping his hands at the palace fans. The other thing that you saw on the pictures as well, Clint, I know whether you saw it was that Adam Wharton had a water bottle. And therefore, he actually prepared. He prepared the turf beforehand to make him exactly how his manager would want it. I've seen it making it all greasy and that. I'm like Ali and you and Robo and Chappas.

I've never seen him like that, Oliver Glasnach. He's always serious and stuff like that. So to see those kind of emotions, it's brilliant to be fair and fair play for it. So what are you thinking then, Paul? I just don't know if the chapter's finished. I was speaking to Ali through the commentary. And you're looking at all the big jobs

that are slowly closing up if we're thinking that Moreska's getting Manchester City. Marino back to Real Madrid. Javier Lonzo in at Chelsea. The big jobs with a big job with the big names. Areola's obviously left Bournemouth, all these big names and the big jobs that are all linked.

I just don't know. Is there any way Clinton, can they persuade him? I was exactly like you, mate. And I went to a, when they'll go to a game about a month ago, I was like, yeah, surely he's going to be staying. Surely he's going to be staying. There's no more jobs, but they were adamant that he's made his mind up and he's decided he wants a different challenge.

Even if he has to wait, or it's somewhere in Europe, he's one of those. Once he makes his mind up, he sticks with it. But I'm like you, Robo. You never know. I'm like you. You never know. Because I thought exactly like you, Robo.

What job's available? You're playing in Europe, doing your Open League again next season and try and go for it there and do well in the Premier League. So you never know. I hope he does stay, but I don't think he will. And for Pallas to actually make a stance to go to that next level, to not be that club that finishes 10th or 12th, not to be that club that has a good run in the Cup one year

and he's always mid-table and the aim is to survive. you keep a manager like that, you try and make a statement, and then you keep the players, you keep Mateta, and you build from what you've got rather than regress, because if they lose Mateta, if they lose one or two more players and the manager, it's a whole rebuild and they're almost back to where they were two years ago. Do you not think that that would be the issue for Glazer if he's under his watch, if he's lost gay and lost Ezra

and Mattessa may go and Wharton or that he may just think, Do you know what? Even if there isn't something else out there at the moment, I'll bide my time. He's found the ceiling, hasn't he? He's taken knees to the ceiling. With what he's got here, with the budget he's got, with the stadium that they've got,

with the squad that's available to him, he has massively overachieved. Let's not underestimate what they've done, what he's achieved at Crystal Palace. F-A Cup, European football, and winning a European competition. It's been fantastic for them. And to actually take this group of players on,

they need investment they need to go to that next level but if the club's not ready to go to that next level they'll always be here Let's head to Selhurst Park Plenty of fans are there having been watching on the big screen there with BBC Radio London's Emma Jones I'm here with a couple of enjoying the trophy lifts at the moment Palace of European champions how is that sound Unbelievable. Been coming for so many years. Never been like this.

Just a really special night. Did it have to be Jean-Philippe Matetta? Yeah. About Christmas time when Ollie said that he was going to go and things weren't looking too good. Peteta was going to go. But in fairness, turned it around. Now we're here.

End of the season. All brilliant. It's been a great season and its season. Yeah. Exciting. Maybe we'll get over. that you fancy a trip to Europe next season yeah good to see well done guys

some of the fans are at sellhurst park I mean you can flip it the other way here can you and and you can be a bit worried clinton about who might leave and and Glasner going and so to so forth but then you can go well hang on a minute look what they've done this last 12 months yeah now they've got Europa League football right so they may have finished 15th in the Premier League but they've got more European football next season

and I take Paul's point about investment is needed but there will be a lot there will be a lot of managers who will fancy Palace because they will see them at a different level to where they were two years ago 100% and that's the job that Oliver Glazen has done at that football club listen chap as everyone knows there's a name out there at the moment

and if Palace were to get him it'd be an unbelievable coup and he's been linked to the job Iriola so that he's the one that that everyone's talking about. And you know when rumours start, it's usually something, you always think to myself, could it actually come true?

Could it come true? So you never know, but that's a manager who I would love to come to Palace. Everyone would say it is a sideward step. I totally get from what he's done at Bournemouth. But if that comes off, then I'd be buzzing and over the moon. But that's one of those where you just say,

let's watch this space at the moment. But Robbo's right, though. They're already losing Commada because he's out of contract, and he's not signing a new contract because that was a Glasner signing and I thought he was brilliant in midfield alongside Adam Water

and so they are going to lose players as I said it's a rebuilding one but if I'm a manager I'd want to come to Crystal Palace just because of the players that they've got there and the potential that the club's got do you think there is a genuine possibility

that it could be Iraola? Yeah I do I actually do I think Palace will throw everything to try and get him to the football club I do actually think that there's a few other names that were in the frame that everyone's probably heard of but he was probably, you look at it, the number one candidate. And if they don't get him, you'll know this anyway. Clubs always have a second or a third option.

But I think he's the number one option. And if they were to get someone like that, wow, what a sign. And it might encourage players like Adam Wharton just to do another year if possible because he's still only 22 years of age. And I don't want him to go to a big club and not be irregular like he is at Crystal Palace. What do you think Paul? Yeah, I think if you look at a manager like Ariola, then you can understand them if they're quite happy to let Glasna go.

That then is staying at this level and maybe progressing to the next level because Ariola is not going to come to Crystal Palace unless he's given the assurances that Glasna would have wanted, i.e. the squad rebuild, the money, the investment, signing players, keeping players and getting the players that he wants. So I don't think this would be a job for him with this squad, without Mattetto, without Comada and without potentially Wharton and other. he wouldn't want to rebuild this,

but if he can keep this and build on this with the promises, then I think that would be a statement from Crystal Palace if they were to get a manager of his calibre. It would also be, again, I sort of go back to history rather more than the modern day, Ali, but it would be astonishing if Palace were able to get him with rumours circling that he may well have turned down A.C. Malau. Yeah.

Right? So, and given the all concrete power of English clubs in Europe, that wouldn't, I mean, that wouldn't half say a lot. Yeah, no, I know what you mean, and that is not, you know, damning clubs like Crystal Palace, but you're talking about the stature of a club like A.C. Milan, were that to be the decision, then yes. And, you know, also, I'm thinking a little bit longer term. Palace now in the Europa League, and Doniariola has just left Bournemouth, who will be playing in the Europa League next season. So you could eventually get a situation, you know, where the two come up against each other. I do think I do think Paul is right.

I think you would definitely want assurances if you were going to come in and replace Oliver Glasner and try and repeat the sort of success, particularly in the knockout cup competitions that he has had in terms of what you were going to have at your disposal, because I think they will be, you know, really big shoes to fill. And it will be a difficult job. But then again, you know, we're not in on those conversations. So I don't know. I don't know. And I do think, you know, this question is going to come to Oliver Glastard

after this final straight away. And I know he'll bat it away. But it will be, have you definitely made that decision? Is there no way you'd change your mind? Because there's 18,000 palace fans inside this stadium, having seen the old Klinsman dive, who might be thinking, come on, Oliver, we'd like a little bit more of that.

Adam Waters just spoke to TNT. He said, I missed out on the FAA Cup celebrations. I can't put these feelings into words. It's incredible. what it means to South London and the fans. And on Oliver Glaser, he said this. He said, last game as Palace manager. The difference he's made is incredible.

First three trophies in the history of the club. He's got to be one of the best managers Palace have ever had. We're not just looking to stay in the Premier League. He's completely changed the way the club looks at competitions. We don't just want to be in Europe. We want to win it. And maybe for all the talk of, you know what, Clinton, of tactics and 3-4-3 and recruitment and so on and so forth,

he changed the mentality at Crystal Palace. That's what he did. 100%. Yeah, because all Palace, sometimes you're just happy to stay in the Premier League. No, in all competition, it always plays his strongest team. He wouldn't rotate or do anything like that. He just played his strongest team. And I like that.

And he's changed the mentality to say, you've got to believe yourself. And that is why I think he's took as Palace as far as he can at the moment. He knows there's not a lot of money in the football club and he can't have the players that he wants and that's why he probably wants a different challenge. He's took the club to the highest ceiling that it can possibly go. He thinks and now it's over to a new manager to come in. The job he's done there has been brilliant.

And the next challenge in the job, Mark, is as well as, you know, I mean, if you think back to that FAA Cup final, you know, win last season, too massive wins, obviously beating Aston Villa convincingly in the semi, then winning the final against Manchester City and big performances in the latter stage of this competition But Crystal Palace have now played 13 consecutive seasons in the Premier League and always finished between 10th and 15th.

So I, you know, and never, I mean a couple of times. I remember Sam Allerdice came in at one point and had to dig them out of a bit of trouble, but never really been in danger. But also, you know, the next shot probably consistently to try and push them on a bit more and see if they can, you know, top eight, top six is probably too far, isn't it to ask? You don't know, do you? And I say a final word to Paul and Clint on this. One of the things that winds me up more than anything

is people within football who tell fans be careful what you wish for, i.e. accept finishing 15th and never winning a cup and not doing anything. You know, Palace have been brave with managerial appointments over the years. Some they get right and some they get wrong. But Palace are,

Palace are the example and the ambition of every football fan, I would argue at the moment, who doesn't support a so-called big team. Because that tonight and that at Wembley is what every football fan wishes for, isn't it? Yeah, I agree. I agree with you, chappers. Every football fan does wish for that. Them sort of nights where you're in the Europa Conference League Final,

You can go over there with your family and watch a game and you're winning football matches and you get to celebrate it with your family. The FA Cup final where they were big underdogs. They were the favourites today. There's big pressure on them. There were underdogs against Man City

but turned up and that was a special, special occasion. And I bet tonight over there in Leipzig, a special occasion. And they do it the right way there at Crystal Palace. Huge credit to them. And with the right people and the right spirit and a little bit of luck along the way maybe, Paul, you are allowed to dream.

Yeah, absolutely, but it's the old leddage, isn't it? With success comes expectation. So there'll now be a level of expectation with this group of players with this team to push onto that next level. And I completely agree with what Ali's saying, when do you come out of that bubble, when do you come out of that comfort zone

and have the investment and get the quality of players that takes you regularly to FA Cup finals, regularly deep in European competitions and competing in the upper echelands at the Premier League. We can hear now from Oliver I just guided this group of players and the staff and then I supported them and I said

you know and this is it's and it's it's I really this is because it's my my 100% conviction so I can't do anything alone you know I could be the best magician it wouldn't work without the players and so it's all the the players deserve all the credit because they have to to listen they have to trust me and myself and the stuff of course they have to work very hard and I think every player will tell you that I'm very demanding so if things don't go how I think they should go or if players probably drop the standard by one or two percent I don't I can't accept it so I and this is just and then sometimes they're a little bit

upset with me and that's fine. But at the end, I think they know that I want the best for every single one and I want the best for the team. And this, as soon as everybody understood this, we just created a fantastic spirit, you know, and we always increased the standard and we were said, okay, no, we don't drop it anymore because it makes fun and we see what is possible. And this is what I see as my job to get everybody aligned in the the way we are playing, in the way we are defending, and the way we are attacking, and to get everybody aligned in the mindset we have.

And therefore, you need great, of course, talented football players, but you need great characters, because they have to follow. And so they deserve all the credit. And at the end, it's now with one year delayed at Crystal Palace, the players, the club, and the supporters get what they have deserved last year after winning the FAC Cup.

And that's a spot in the... the Europa League. I see myself as a servant for the players as a servant for the club and then somebody who gives the direction. And of course, I told the players today in the meeting when we had it in the hotel because I got many messages from fans where they said thank you for the best day in my life and all the stuff and I really appreciate it. And I just have, I told the players exactly the same. So I have to say thank you to the players. to say thank you to the supporters because it's the same. It's also an incredible, another incredible day for me and for my family sharing these moments

with my family here at Leipzig again. This is just a fantastic day. So I have to say thank you to the players because they have to do all the job.
