Crystal Palace have discovered their knockout path for the remainder of the 2025-26 UEFA Conference League.
Oliver Glasner’s Eagles beat Zrinjski Mostar in their knockout play-off tie and will now face AEK Larnaca with the first leg at Selhurst Park, before the return leg is played at AEK Arena.
This tie however isn’t the first time that Palace met the Cypriot side after they lost 1-0 at home to them in the league phase.
Should Palace progress to the Quarter-Finals then they face either Italy’s Fiorentina or Poland’s Rakow Czestochowa for a spot, where one of Lech Poznan, Shakhtar Donetsk, AZ Alkmaar or Sparta Prague would await.
