And listen back to full match commentaries on BBC Sounds:
Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner, speaking to Sky Sports: "It is not the best feeling because we have had so many great games. Today showed our whole story; we didn't play great for a long time but we didn't give up.
"Fantastic stadium, atmosphere, players and of course fantastic supporters. I will definitely miss all of the people here."
When asked to sum up his time at the club: "I think it was okay. For me the best is still to come. The biggest achievement for me is not the trophy, but giving the people belief in you is amazing. [Winning the Conference League] would be really good!
"I am a bit concerned with Adam [Wharton], he twisted his ankle. Hopefully it is not too bad. He says it should be okay."

Palace's league form has not been great - they are without a win in their past seven matches - but that is not of any concern, with survival mathematically secured a couple of weeks ago.
The Eagles have reached the final of the Conference League in their first season in a major European competition.
And as well as another trophy, alongside the FA Cup and Community Shield that Glasner has already brought to the club, they have an opportunity to secure Europa League football with a win against Rayo Vallecano in Leipzig.
Their only concern going into the final is around star midfielder Adam Wharton, who had to be withdrawn with what looked like an ankle injury.
Glasner will be remembered as one of the greatest managers in the club's history, regardless what happens on Wednesday, as he brought the club their first major trophy.
His relationship with those above him was rocky at times during the season, with Glasner showing frustration at not being adequately backed, but the Austrian has shown why he is so highly regarded in the game to lead Palace to the cusp of more silverware.

The problem with predicting a game like this is that both sides are understandably going to make a lot of changes with European finals coming up in the next few days.
With the Premier League title won, why wouldn't Mikel Arteta rest a load of players before his side face Paris St-Germain next weekend?
The same applies to Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner with his side playing Rayo Vallecano on Wednesday.
So, it is going to be Palace reserves versus Arsenal reserves - and some of the Gunners players may still have a hangover.
I understand why they wanted to enjoy themselves. I know Alan Shearer famously said he would be celebrating by "creosoting the fence" when we won the title with Blackburn in 1995, but he was the only one of us who went to bed early that night.
I am still going to go for an Arsenal win, though, and by their favourite scoreline too - the same one as their past three victories.
That was how they got over the line and it won't change now.
Sutton's prediction: 0-1

BBC Sport journalist
Crystal Palace host Premier League champions Arsenal in a London derby at Selhurst Park on Sunday with both teams looking forward to a European final next week.
Palace head coach Oliver Glasner may elect to ring the changes ahead of their Conference League decider against Rayo Vallecano next Wednesday.
The Eagles are winless in their past six league games, although their safety has been guaranteed for a couple of weeks now, allowing them to look forward to the trip to Leipzig, where they will aim to lift European silverware for the first time in the club's history.
Sarr stars for Palace
Ismaila Sarr, who has been named in Senegal's World Cup squad, has scored eight goals in his last eight starts for Palace in all competitions, netting in each of his last four, including both legs of the Conference League semi-final against Shakhtar Donetsk.
Since their return to the top-flight in 2013, the only player to score in five consecutive starts for the Eagles is Eberechi Eze – now of Sunday's opponents Arsenal – in April-May last year.
Sarr's 21 goals in all competitions this season are the joint-most by any Palace player in a single campaign as a Premier League club, equalling Andrew Johnson's tally from 2004-05.
Palace enter the game in 15th position, having struggled through a winter in which Glasner announced he would leave at the end of the season. The Austrian will hope his final game at Selhurst Park is a positive affair.
History suggests it could well be. Palace have never lost when playing their final Premier League match of the season at home (won eight, drawn four), most recently beating Aston Villa 5-0 in 2023-24.
Arsenal gunning for more glory
Arsenal fans will cross the River Thames in party mode to watch their team be presented with the Premier League trophy for the first time since 2004.
Mikel Arteta, like his opposite number, could choose to rest some key players ahead of next Saturday's mouth-watering Champions League decider against Paris Saint-Germain.
There has been much praise this week for the Arsenal's board's persistence with Arteta. The Spaniard has overcome an unconvincing start to life in his first managerial job to turn his team into consistent title contenders.
It's no secret that the Gunners' current success has been built on the league's best defence. They've conceded just 26 goals, owing to commanding displays from the likes of Gabriel, William Saliba and goalkeeper David Raya, one of just six top flight players to have played every minute of the campaign so far.
Arsenal won the reverse fixture 1-0 at Emirates Stadium in October, one of 29 victories without conceding across all competitions this season – another clean sheet would equal the club record of 30 from 1970-71 when the legendary Bertie Mee was in charge.
Remarkably, there have been six different league games this season in which Arsenal haven't faced a shot on target, the joint-most by a side in a single campaign since such record began in 2003-04.
Typically, the last day of the season is a fruitful one for the Gunners. Arsenal have won their final Premier League game 24 times – more often than any other side. That's been the case in each of the last 14 years, their last defeat coming in a 2-1 reverse at Birmingham City in 2004-05.
Similarly, Gabriel Jesus seems to thrive at this time of year. The Brazil forward has been involved in seven goals in his team's final league game of the season (five goals, two assists), boasting the most matchday-38 goals and goal involvements of any current player in the division.
Image source, Getty ImagesCrystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner says preparing for his second final in two years is "special" but it "still feels right" that he departs the club at the end of the season.
After taking charge in February 2024 with Palace 15th in the Premier League and on a run of 10 defeats in 17 games, Glasner has guided the Eagles to a top-10 finish, a club record 53-point campaign, their first major trophy with last season's FA Cup, and now a final in which they club could win back-to-back silverware in their first debut European season.
Asked if he has any regrets over his decision to leave after Wednesday's Conference League final, he said: "No, for me it still feels right. It's not something where I wake up at seven in the morning and think, 'I will leave'.
"It's a process over weeks and months, and thinking it will be time for me to look for a new challenge. I think it's probably a chance for Crystal Palace to make the next step and that's also why I announced it very early.
"I think it's just fair having clarity for Crystal Palace so they could prepare for being after Oliver Glasner. That was the reason."
After a successful two and a half years in south London, Glasner could depart with another trophy, but also a win that secures a first Europa League campaign for next season.
"I gave my best," he reflected. "To play two finals in two years is special. It's probably exceeded the expectations.
"We will stick to what we are doing, to our principles, just make small adjustments to what Vallecano's strengths and weaknesses are, and that's what we're all thinking about.
"Then expectations don't matter. If we win it's a great end to the season."
Image source, Getty ImagesCrystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner says the Premier League has rejected a club request for his side's final fixture of the season to be moved forward by 24 hours.
Following confirmation of Arsenal's Premier League title win on Tuesday, Palace asked if Sunday's game could be moved to Saturday on the grounds that the champions had already been decided.
The Eagles are set to face Rayo Vallecano in the Conference League final at the Red Bull Arena in Leipzig on Wednesday.
However, their opponents will round off their La Liga fixtures on Saturday night, meaning they will have an extra day to prepare for the European showpiece.
Traditionally, all 10 matches kick off simultaneously on the final day of the Premier League season. This is to avoid any club gaining an advantage on the teams they are in direct competition with.
"We tried to move the game to Saturday because it would have given us one more day before Wednesday," said Glasner. "I couldn't ask them last week. We waited until Wednesday morning, after [the result of] Tuesday night's game.
"We were thinking about it before then, but we didn't want to call the Premier League and say, 'hey, move the game' when they didn't know if the title race was going to be decided on the last matchday.
"It didn't work - short answer. I didn't ask why, they just told me it doesn't work. There are contractual issues and TV rights [I think].
"We accepted the demotion to the Conference League and we accepted playing on Sunday. This season, we've had less preparation than our opposition for 50 out of 60 games."
Thomas Tuchel has named his 26-man squad to represent England at the 2026 World Cup hosted in Canada, Mexico and the United States:
Goalkeepers: Jordan Pickford (Everton), Dean Henderson (Crystal Palace), James Trafford (Manchester City)
Defenders: Reece James (Chelsea), Tino Livramento (Newcastle), Marc Guehi (Manchester City), Ezri Konsa (Aston Villa), John Stones (Manchester City), Jarrell Quansah (Bayer Leverkusen - loan), Nico O'Reilly (Manchester City), Dan Burn (Newcastle), Djed Spence (Tottenham)
Midfielders: Declan Rice (Arsenal), Elliot Anderson (Nottingham Forest), Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid), Jordan Henderson (Brentford), Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa), Kobbie Mainoo (Manchester United), Eberechi Eze (Arsenal)
Forwards: Harry Kane (Bayern Munich), Ivan Toney (Al-Ahli), Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa), Bukayo Saka (Arsenal), Noni Madueke (Arsenal), Marcus Rashford (Barcelona - loan), Anthony Gordon (Newcastle)
Alex Scott (Bournemouth), Rio Ngumoha (Liverpool), Josh King (Fulham) and Ethan Nwaneri (Arsenal) will also be part of the Three Lions' pre-tournament squad in Florida when they face New Zealand and Costa Rica.
The England boss added that one more player will also join his squad in Florida, but did not name the individual.
Tuchel said Bournemouth's Scott had an "outstanding" reaction to not being named in the 26-man squad.
"The commitment, the wish to be in pre-camp and just be a step closer to the team, was not even a question to him. This showed me his character and spirit. He gets a chance to take a step closer and to get a cap," added Tuchel.
Tuchel on his 26-man squad: "An exciting day for me and I think for everyone selected. From day one we were very clear that we were trying to build and select the best possible team, which is not necessarily to select and collect 26 of the most talented players. Teams win championships – it is as simple as that.
"What we're trying to achieve in the summer can only be achieved as a team. That in mind, we chose a very balanced squad. We chose three goalkeepers, plus Jason Steele (as training goalkeeper). I want to take the opportunity, and thank Jason for being brilliant, and thank Brighton for being so cooperative.
"We chose nine defenders for four positions, we chose seven midfielders for three positions, and we chose seven strikers for three positions.
"I can assure every fan in the country that we have 26 100% committed players with us. Who know their role, who are ready to buy into their role on and off the pitch and who are ready and committed to the idea of team spirit and being unselfish."

BBC Sport journalist
Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game against Arsenal at Selhurst Park (kick-off 16:00 BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
On the latest team news, Glasner said Chris Richards will miss the game after damaging ankle ligaments. He said the defender's ankle is "stable but quite swollen" and it will be a "race against time" to be fit for the Conference League final.
On what Richards is doing to get himself fit: "He's in from sunrise to sunset and having treatment and everything that we can do that reduces the swelling. We will give our best and he will give his best, and then let's see if we can get it done."
On his final game at Selhurst Park: "First of all, I want to congratulate Arsenal, Mikel Arteta, his players and his staff for a huge achievement after winning the title after 22 years. It's a special job they have done. Also, special congrats to Eberechi [Eze]. I think he has taken the right decision to go to Arsenal and not another club."
On not having to deal with questions about how his team selection will affect the title race, Glasner said it makes it "easier for him" and he's still not decided what to do with the final just three days later. He added: "I change my opinion three times a day from full rotation to no rotation to half rotation. I personally have so many negative experiences with big rotations. One we all experienced was KuPS and Leeds three days later, and I started two different teams and I think it was one of our worst performances."
On his Selhurst Park highlights: "I'm always hoping the best is still to come. This will be now at Selhurst [on Sunday] and then three days later at Leipzig but number one, for me, when I'm thinking about what I'm going to miss, it is the people."
He added: "It's the people who are always there when I come, the security always waiting for me. It's the lovely conversation and fans when I arrive, always asking for a selfie and always having a positive message, which I'm always appreciating."
On more of his favourite moments since he joined the club: "First win against Burnley. Monday night football against Manchester United when Michael [Olise] makes a 50-yard sprint to hug me. I was very surprised. Newcastle, Daniel Munoz late equaliser, I made a 50-yard sprint - I didn't know I could do a 50-yard sprint and hug somebody."
On how he felt when he first joined Palace: "I feel I have to deliver. I can't do more. Sometimes I would like to give more."
He added: "At the end, we will all have great memories. The players do everything and we are a group all together - the players, the staff, the scouting, sporting director, the chairman, the media. We are spending so much time together."
Finally, he said: "I was a puzzle piece, but a puzzle piece does not always make a picture."

Image source, Getty ImagesCrystal Palace have announced that the AI and enterprise technology system, Temporal, will become their new front-of-shirt sponsor for the 2026-27 season.
In a multi-year agreement, Temporal will replace the current sponsor - online gaming and betting platform NET88.
The new shirt sponsor will be on both the men's and academy team's kits, and Palace have announced Temporal "will also support community initiatives through Palace for Life Foundation."
NET88 will still be Palace's shirt sponsor for their remaining two games in the season, with the Conference League final against Rayo Vallecano being the final time they appear on Palace's shirt.

Image source, Getty ImagesSince making the Conference League final, the Premier League dynamic has been an odd one to experience as a Crystal Palace fan. Naturally, you want to see an encouraging performance from the team, but the larger priority is almost keeping the squad fit and healthy, rather than the points on offer.
So, with Chris Richards uncharacteristically down in pain in the second half on Sunday, everyone feared the worst. Whether he should have played on with his ankle injury for a further 30 minutes is debatable, as with eyes on Leipzig, the team cannot afford to be without key players.
A key player is certainly what the USMNT defender has become over the past two seasons, and with a heavy fixture list this season, Oliver Glasner has leaned heavily on both Richards (50 appearances) and Maxence Lacroix (54).
Fortunately, based on Glasner's post-match comments, the injury scare shouldn't result in an extended absence. With a potentially title-defining match on Sunday, for the sanctity of the Premier League as a competition, one would hope that Palace would offer Arsenal their best effort. However, it would be unwise to risk Richards with a final on the horizon if there are any lingering issues.
This summer Palace are expected to have a minor rebuild, or redirection at least, under a new manager, but the summer of 2027 is a looming issue that will need addressing as well. Richards, along with Tyrick Mitchell and Jean-Philippe Mateta, are the big names that are about to enter the final year of their deals.
Talks are said to be continuing with the former Bayern defender to extend his stay in south London, and he would be an important foundational piece to secure as he heads into his prime years.

We asked for your thoughts after Sunday's Premier League game between Brentford and Crystal Palace. Here are some of your comments:
Brentford fans
Neel: On that showing, we are not ready for Europe. I'm incredibly proud of how the season has played out and we need more fight, desire and quality before we progress to bigger things. Today was frankly, "meh"! Well done Bees and let's keep developing.
Nige: Obvious where the Bees need strengthening. We were poor. Second to most second balls by a yard, with no anticipation, as we often are. We concede goals from mistakes, and only really attack in the last 10 minutes - and rarely convert. Glaring misses. We need more up front. Hendo made a difference. Thiago misses too many chances. Three or four better additions and we'll do well next year.
Dave: Worst performance of the season - lethargic- just awful, awful awful.
Giles: A lesson in how to salvage a point while being thoroughly outplayed.
Crystal Palace fans
Les: An entertaining match but from a Palace view, it was two points dropped. Ref missed a blatant penalty call. Worrying injuries are of concern. Overall, Brentford had a fair proportion of the spoils and it could have gone either way.
Steve: Two halves of such contrasting football quality. From dominating in the first half, when Palace played some excellent football, to hanging on after re-taking the lead in the second. Wharton's goal was very welcome after such a long barren period. Palace should have pushed for a third to put the game to bed. Somehow, it seemed inevitable Brentford would equalise. Hopefully Richards and Lacroix are not too badly injured. Just recently, the defence has been leaking far too many goals. We need them fit and on their very best form for the final.
Colin: We clearly had a good game but picked up too many injuries. Focus is on Leipzig.
Al: Another game where we dominate a half and waste chances and then defend too deep and invite the opposition to overwhelm us. Disappointing result, two points dropped. Wharton finally scores, which is as rare as hen's teeth! Riad injury is disappointing. Glasner please rest the squad against Arsenal so they are fit for Leipzig.
