Super CoupeVue d'ensemble

Former England manager Glenn Hoddle has launched a fierce critique against Thomas Tuchel following the omission of Adam Wharton from the World Cup squad. The teenage maestro inspired Crystal Palace to their historic continental victory just days after being overlooked in favour of veteran midfielder Jordan Henderson for the tournament in the United States.

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.
