The Premier League season concluded at a sultry Selhurst Park with a narrow 2-1 defeat to the newly crowned champions. With the historic Conference League Final in Leipzig just days away, Oliver Glasner heavily rotated his squad, giving several fringe players and youth prospects a chance to test themselves against the best in the land. Despite falling two goals behind, a spirited late rally proved that the Eagles' competitive fire is fully intact ahead of their trip to Germany.

The Eagles were forced to settle for a point in West London as a resilient Brentford side twice came from behind to salvage a 2-2 draw. On an afternoon where Palace initially looked sharp and dangerous, failure to kill the game off when they had the upper hand ultimately allowed the Bees to push back late. We're grading a performance that showed flashes of real quality, but was ultimately undone by a lack of ruthlessness and some tired legs in the closing stages

The "Etihad Gauntlet" proved too much for a rotated Palace side as Manchester City kept their title hopes alive with a clinical 3-0 victory. Despite a bright start that saw the Eagles nearly lead through Jean-Philippe Mateta, City's quality told with two quick-fire goals before the break. While the second half saw a spirited effort from the bench, the focus remains firmly on managing the squad's fitness for the historic date in Leipzig.
