What trophy did Crystal Palace win recently?
This is The Guardian.
Hello and welcome to The Guardian Football Weekly, another trophy for Crystal Palace. At the start of last season, they'd only ever won the Kent Cup. Now they can add the Conference League to the FA Cup and the Community Shield, if you're being generous. The left shin of Jean-Philippe Mateta was the difference, his teammates all joining in with the celebration. A wonderful moment for him and for fans of wearing your shorts that high. Oliver Glasner's last game, we think, could he change his mind? Adam Wharton was great. While it just wasn't to be for Rayo, it's given us the chance to learn about this wonderful throwback club in Spain. Also today, we look ahead to the Champions League final. Arsenal going for their most successful season ever.
Is it as simple as attack versus defence? Both have fears over fitness at right back.
How did Crystal Palace's victory impact their fans?
Then there's Havertz or Jokeres, the Arsenal midfield, and how to stop that PSG attack. Also today, Anthony Gordon to Barcelona, Manchester United start spending a complete reset at Spurs, and Nuno's going to Jedi in the Championship. We'll let Paul Watson plug his new book, Around the World in 80 Clubs, talk about Pochettino dumping his players by email, and ask if Barry is the new John Peel. All that, plus your questions, and that's today's Guardian Football Weekly. On the panel today, Mark Langdon from the Racing Post. Welcome. Hi, Max. Hello, Paul Watson. Hi, Max. Good morning, Barry Glendening. Hello, Max. And I presume a joyful Ed Ahrens out in Leipzig. Hey, Ed.
Good morning, Max. Yes, very joyful.
Well, we'll start with you. How are you this morning?
Yeah, well, a bit of a sore head and you can probably hear from my voice, I haven't had that much sleep. But yeah, fantastic evening and really just sort of, I think all Palace fans were again, it was a bit of a throwback to the FA Cup win last year. We were sort of pinching ourselves a bit after the game. We had a bit more of an idea of what to do, how to celebrate this time having... won stuff before now but still it was just yeah amazing amazing day and amazing season it's up you know classic roller coaster palace season but like no other before really because it's it's ended in another trophy
Yeah, I mean, you have a deep enough voice at the best of times, but after a skinful head, this is absolutely tremendous stuff. We spoke to Kevin Day on the radio yesterday about just not quite knowing how to react to Crystal Palace winning another trophy. You've got the muscle memory of the FA Cup, but a regular thing? He was like, I'm not sure I want to be a serial trophy winning team. Just occasionally gives you the joy. This is a bit weird now.
It's very weird.
What challenges does Arsenal face against PSG?
It is really weird. I mean, I think all we can do is just enjoy it while it lasts. I think everybody's aware that, you know, we're not suddenly a massive club in Europe. And, you know, we're riding the wave at the moment.
What are the key player matchups for Arsenal vs PSG?
We've had an unbelievable manager who's just performed absolute miracles in South London. And...
How does Arsenal's defensive strategy affect their chances?
I mean, the next step is quite daunting in a way if you're a Palace fan because you think we're going to a higher level of competition next season with a new manager, uncertainty about a few players and whether they're going to be there next season. But, you know, that's for tomorrow, I think. And later in the summer, I think that for now, I think we've just got to smoke it all up.
and we were talking to Dan Bardella Villa fan about the perfect way to win a final. And I kind of think by one goal is perfect because you have the stress right until the end. I mean, it didn't have the stress of the FA cup final. And I don't know if it means quite as much as the FA cup final, but there was still that moment where Rio had a half chance. They put it wide. The clock had ticked over 95 and you, and you sort of know, you know, you've, what was that moment like when you're like, okay, this is done.
Well, I mean, from a professional point of view, it was doubled for me because I had to file on the whistle. So I was ready to go.
