Crystal Palace's FA Cup Dream: Glasner's Magic and Eze's Brilliance
Wow, what a turnaround for Crystal Palace! If someone had told you back in October that Palace would be in the FA Cup semi-finals, you probably would’ve laughed. But here we are—Oliver Glasner has worked his magic, and the Eagles are soaring high!
Let’s take a moment to appreciate this remarkable journey. Palace didn’t even win their first Premier League match until late October. Tensions were rising, fans were worried, and it seemed like another tough season ahead. But Glasner had a vision. He stayed patient, trusted his players, and made crucial tactical adjustments. And now, they’ve just dismantled Fulham 3-0 to book a spot in the semi-finals at Wembley.

You have to give credit to this Palace squad. Since the start of 2025, only Liverpool have won more games across all competitions. Even more impressively, no other team in the Premier League has kept more clean sheets than them in that time. The back three—Chris Richards, Maxence Lacroix, and Marc Guehi—has been an absolute fortress. It’s clear that Glasner’s 3-4-2-1 formation has brought balance, structure, and resilience to this team.
And then there’s Eberechi Eze. What a player! He’s had an up-and-down season with injuries and some bad luck, but when he’s on, he’s unplayable. Against Fulham, he produced a moment of pure brilliance—cutting inside and curling a stunning shot into the net. And let’s not forget that gorgeous assist for the second goal. This man is the real deal. He was already flying high after scoring his first goal for England earlier this week, and now he’s taken his club one step closer to history.
It’s no wonder the Palace fans were singing about their trip to Wembley. They’ve been here before but never quite finished the job. The club has lost two FA Cup finals, in 1990 and 2016, but this time, there’s a different energy. Glasner knows they haven’t won anything yet—he’s keeping his team grounded. But you can tell they believe.
Glasner himself has been to Wembley before—twice as a spectator for England matches and even once to drop his daughter off at a Taylor Swift concert. But now, he’ll be leading his team out under the arch for a shot at glory. And if Palace keep this momentum, who’s to say they won’t go all the way?
So, Palace fans, dare to dream. With Glasner at the helm and Eze pulling the strings, anything is possible. Wembley awaits, and the Eagles are ready to take flight!
