Crystal Palace secured a Conference League last-16 spot with a 2-0 win over Zrinjski, captain Dean Henderson joked about the 'fuss' surrounding their turbulent season. The Eagles' chaotic campaign, marked by manager Oliver Glasner's criticism of the club and fan protests, has seen key players leave and return, including winger Eberechi Eze to Arsenal and skipper Marc Guehi's near-move to Liverpool. Glasner insists his job is secure, citing the team's strong league position and Mateta's expected return within weeks.

Palace sit 13th in the Premier League, 10 points clear of relegation, with the Conference League offering a path to European football. Glasner believes the squad's unity and recent wins signal a potential record-breaking end to his controversial tenure.
