The first major trophy in the club's history was won by Crystal Palace.
"The Eagles" were founded 119 years ago, they are one of the most famous football clubs in London, and it almost sounds incredible that they have not yet rejoiced, that they have not belonged to the multitude of clubs from the Island that have won at least once, either the championship title, or one of the cups...
Everything changed today, however. Crystal Palace was rejoicing - symbolically, in the oldest football competition in the world, in which they have so far "only" reached the final twice (1990, 2016).
Austrian Oliver Glazner's team is playing great football this season, Manchester City are disastrous for their standards, but again, there weren't too many who believed in a surprise.
In the end, after over 100 minutes of play (10 minutes of stoppage time in the second half), Palace won 1:0.
He ruled Eze's goal from the 16th minute.
The Eagles converted practically the first organized attack into the opponent's half into a goal.
City did not take the penalty - Henderson saved Marmuša after half an hour of play, until the end we watched a boring, fruitless initiative from City and a fanatically fighting game from Crystal Palace players.
How their fans cheered - there were over 40 thousand of them, in the iconic stadium, how they just sang, how they rejoiced...
Nothing is the same for them from today on.
On the other hand, the nervousness of Pep Guardiola, City coach, as if he wanted to object to goalkeeper Henderson after the referee's final whistle.
The collapse of City's season is complete. Or, it's not yet - it could happen that the "citizens" will not play in the Champions League next season.
