Ludogorets Razgrad II Overview

Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton has revealed his frustration at missing the initial dressing-room celebrations following the Eagles' historic Conference League triumph. The England international was immediately pulled away for a random UEFA doping test after the final whistle, temporarily delaying his plans to celebrate their continental silverware with team-mates.

Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish has hailed his club's monumental achievement after the Eagles secured their first European trophy in the Conference League final. A narrow second-half victory over Spanish side Rayo Vallecano has not only delivered historic silverware but also guaranteed the South London club an immediate passage to the Europa League next season.

Jean-Philippe Mateta was buzzing after his decisive goal secured Crystal Palace's first-ever European title with a 1-0 victory over Rayo Vallecano. The Frenchman struck in the second half to cap off a historic night for the South London club at the Red Bull Arena.

Adam Wharton was the star of the show as Oliver Glasner gave Crystal Palace fans the perfect parting gift by leading the Londoners to a fully deserved 1-0 victory over Rayo Vallecano in the final of the Conference League on Wednesday night. Right from the first whistle, Wharton had the look of a man determined to make a mockery of Thomas Tuchel's decision to leave him out of the England squad for this summer's World Cup in North America.
