The 2025/26 Europa Conference League season has reached the knockout stages with some competitive quarter-final ties set.
While the Europa Conference League isn’t the competition many big clubs want to be in, once they are in, it makes sense to try to win the competition. For Chelsea, it was a source of some glory last season when the Blues lifted the trophy after a thrilling campaign and Crystal Palace will be hoping to emulate that this time around.
