In the 2025 FA Cup final, underdog Crystal Palace stunned Manchester City with a 1-0 victory at Wembley. The Eagles' fans were instrumental in the team's performance, mirroring the support Alan Shearer experienced during Newcastle's Carabao Cup final win. Palace's triumph was due to their resilience, as they won individual battles and executed a successful defensive gameplan. Goalkeeper Dean Henderson's crucial saves, including Omar Marmoush's penalty, were key to their victory. Erling Haaland's decision to give up a penalty remains a talking point. City's loss marked another disappointing season for them, as they are set to miss out on Champions League qualification. They have a crucial Premier League game against Bournemouth on Tuesday. Palace, meanwhile, should savor their first-ever silverware and make the most of their European football next season.
