Crystal Palace must learn from nervy European run if they are to lift another trophy

Crystal Palace’s debut European campaign has been fraught with nerves the whole way through, and their progression to the semi finals of the UEFA Conference League followed that same script.Their healthy 3-0 lead going into the second leg against Fiorentina meant there was some margin for error, but a 2-1 defeat at the Stadio Artemio Franchi was more nervy than the scoreline suggested. Despite an excellent opening half hour, Palace faded in a fashion that has become all too familiar over the course of the season.Advertisement
