Eagles win Community Shield

Just three months after their FA Cup win, Oliver Glasner’s Crystal Palace won their second trophy, the Community Shield against PL champions Liverpool.

Check out this video from inside the Wembley changing room:

This “crazy fact” doesn’t seem to be entirely true: Arsenal won the FA Cup in Mikel Arteta’s debut season 2019/20 and the Community Shield on 29 August 2020 and 6 August 2023.

However, Palace also has to accept a defeat on the legal front: After winning the FA Cup last season, Palace qualified for Europe’s secondary competition but were punished by Uefa for breaching multi-club ownership rules and therefore only allowed to compete in the Conference League. In the appeal proceedings the CAS upheld the original decision.

Nottingham Forest finished seventh in the Premier League last season and have been promoted to the Europa League in Palace’s place.
