00:00Crystal Palace have completed the greatest year in the club's history by defeating Rayo Vallecano 1-0 in the UEFA
00:08Conference League final in Leipzig, as Jean-Philippe Mateta's winner gave Oliver Glasner the perfect farewell.
00:15The Eagles secured their first ever European trophy to cap a remarkable 12 months, which also delivered FA Cup and
00:23Community Shield success.
00:25Glasner now leaves Selhurst Park, having overseen the most successful period the South East London club has ever experienced, with
00:33Palace now preparing for Europa League football next season.
00:39Mateta proved to be the hero on the bigger stage after a dramatic turnaround in fortunes.
00:44The French striker looked destined to leave in January after pushing for a transfer, but a failed medical kept him
00:50at Palace.
00:51Six months later, he etched his name into club folklore with a decisive goal in Leipzig.
00:59Yes, you know, it's often in the final that you don't goal in from the first minute and I think
01:03first game was how we expected it.
01:06You know, we had a great chance right at the end.
01:11And also in this moment, Adam decided to cross and then found Tee Mitchell on the far post.
01:16And second half, we said, OK, it's keep going.
01:20We will get our chances.
01:21And it was, the goal was, I think, I don't like to praise an individual player, but I think both
01:29sixes, Adam and Daichi played very, very well today.
01:31Because we knew they will press us with minus one player and to keep a plus one in the back.
01:37And then it was, how quick can we switch the side?
01:40All right.
01:40All right.
01:41All right.
01:41All right.
01:41All right.
