UEFA Conference League News
As boos rang out at Palace and Forest, a dismal week for Premier League sides in Europe came to a close.
Crystal Palace will have to do it the hard way in the away leg of their Conference League last-16 tie after Cypriot side AEK Larnaca held them to a goalless draw at a blustery Selhurst Park.
From legends of music to Erling Haaland as a Viking, tifos in this season's European competitions have had it all. But fans of one club stand apart.
Oliver Glasner has insisted he is not thinking of prioritising one competition over another as his side progress further in the Europa Conference League while still trying to get back into the Premier League's top half.
Crystal Palace booked a trip to the Conference League last 16 with a 2-0 victory over Zrinjski Mostar at Selhurst Park to win the two-legged playoff tie 3-1 on aggregate.
