The Athletic FC.

Totally football show today. Crystal Palace win Europa Conference League final.

What were the highlights of the Crystal Palace vs. Rayo Vallecano match?

Unknown 0:15
Critics hail greatest conference performance since Theresa May did Dancing Queen, which should also have been a final appearance. But we look back on the game as briefly as politeness allows and then get on to the business of celebrating the Selhurst Park selection and the amazing six months they've been having. Then we talk Gordon to Barcelona and other midweek news. And we look ahead. After Palace win with Mateta, will England's week get even better in Budapest with Arteta? All that and more in this totally football show.
Jack Lang 0:47
The refs looked at his watch. Is he going to blow the whistle? He has! Book those flights. Book those hotels. Tell word to get lost because Palace are going to Leipzig.

Mateta making his way into the box here, Walton's been able to bring this a long way, and it's to shoot by the crowd, Mateta!
Jack Lang 1:10
What's the Eagles' song? I can see the whistle in the referee's lips, they have done it! It's another trophy for Crystal Palace!
Oliver Glasner 1:22
Glasner struck gold again. Another incredible day for me and for my family, sharing these moments with my family here at Leipzig again.

What does Anthony Gordon's transfer to Barcelona mean for the player?

Oliver Glasner 1:31
This is just a fantastic day, so I have to say thank you to the players because they have to do all the job.
James Richardson 1:36
To share moments like that with your family and your friends, that we're all, again, it's just, these are moments that live with you for the rest of your life.

Hello there, welcome to the Tony Football Show. The big clock on the wall says Thursday the 28th of May as we get together. What a big week for football and English football.

Why is Nuno Espirito Santo staying at West Ham a surprise?

Unknown 1:54
Jack Lang's here with us. Hey Jack. Hi James. Nice to see you. You too.

Can Arsenal defeat PSG in the Champions League Final?

Unknown 1:58
Duncan Alexander's here too. Hello James. Looking very spiffy, Duncan. Thank you. And so is Colin Millar. Hi Colin. Hey James, how are you? Very well, thank you. Colin, give us your stat. Your stat about Europa League and Conference League.

What are the key tactical matchups in the Arsenal vs. PSG final?

Duncan Alexander 2:13
I give this stat out once a week at the moment, but I might have to put it in the fridge or maybe the freezer until next February. So the stat is that since the start of the 2024-25 season, which is last year, every time an English club has played a non-English club in a knockout round, so a two-legged tie or a final in the Europa League or a conference, 21 ties, English clubs have won all 21 ties. So the Premier League middle class is in a pretty good place at the minute, I would say.
Unknown 2:43
The latest example, of course, being Palace on Wednesday night. Champions League's different kind of ratio, though, isn't it?

How have Arsenal and PSG prepared for the Champions League Final?

Duncan Alexander 2:51
Yeah, yeah, the Champions League is a little bit different. And I think this is actually a good little barometer of this that was put up by my colleague Chris Weatherspoon last night. He put up the six budgets, so the annual budgets of the six clubs in the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League finals. So PSG's is unsurprisingly the biggest at 450 million per annum. Arsenal's is 347 million, so a little bit behind. You drop down to the Europa League, Aston Villa's is 270 million, which is just over five times the size of Freiburg's budget, who were there putting us in that final. And in the Conference League, Crystal Palace is 148 million. You compare that to Rayo Vallecano at just 30 million, which is quite a significant difference.
Unknown 3:36
They have a club so small that they can only let one person in their shop at a time, I read. Well, just how many trophies are English teams going to win this summer exactly? That's a question we may be touching on a little bit later on. Colin, of course, this is a busy week for you, not just updating your stats, but also possibly appearing in an Intertotally Cup semi-final, depending on how the quarterfinals went. If you haven't seen them yet, they're out there.

What are the predictions for the Champions League Final outcome?

Unknown 4:01
Duncan, you may or may not be involved as well because you were in the quarterfinals too. That mega quarterfinal collection is available as a totally extra for you. Now we'll have the semifinals for your delectation on Saturday. Oh, and speaking of Saturday, that evening we're going to be straight after the Champions League final, Paris Saint-Germain against Arsenal, doing a live stream.
