| 0:13.4 | Hello and welcome to the Guardian Football Weekly, another trophy for Crystal Palace. |
| 0:17.3 | At the start of last season, they'd only ever won the Kent Cup. |
| 0:19.8 | 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-Filippe Matetta 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 Rio, 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. Then there's Havert's or Yoccarez, the Arsenal midfield, and how to stop that PSG attack. |

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. |
| 1:47.1 | We had a bit of a throwback to the FA Cup win last year. |
| 1:45.2 | We were sort of pinching ourselves a bit after the game. |
| 1:47.4 | We had a bit more of an idea of what to, what to do, how to celebrate this time, having won stuff before now. |
