JEAN-PHILIPPE MATETA led the celebrations after firing Crystal Palace to their first ever European trophy in a 1-0 victory over Rayo Vallecano in the Conference League final on Wednesday night.

Mateta stabbed home the 52nd-minute winner in Leipzig as Palace followed up last season’s FA Cup triumph with more silverware to sign off manager Oliver Glasner’s reign in triumph.

Mateta told TNT Sports: “I feel fantastic! I feel fantastic! We did it! First time in Europe, we did it! Now I just want to celebrate, I just want to party.

“It’s incredible. We did everything. I told you about the intensity we’re going to put. I’m tired right now. I gave everything.”

Mateta paid tribute to Palace’s noisy travelling fans who made the journey to the Leipzig Arena.

He said: “I’m always with them. They support me as a player a lot, and as a team. They’re always behind us and we did that for them too.”

Palace chairman Steve Parish wants the club to keep on winning silverware after lifting three trophies in a year.

Parish said: “That’s what you’ve got to do, right? There’s no point being in it unless you’re trying to win. We’ve gone up a level and we’ve got to try and stay there.

“It’s not going to be easy. Everybody wants to win. We’ve got to work hard in the summer, but right now we’ll take a week or so and enjoy it.

“Just surviving in the Premier League is difficult, but to win an FA Cup, a Community Shield and a European title at the first time of asking is an incredible achievement from everybody. It means everything.

“When I bought the club, I wasn’t sure we’d ever play in Europe, let alone come and win a trophy, so it’s absolutely incredible.

“It’s all of our dreams come true and now we just want to keep it going. We’ve got a taste of it, we want to keep it going.”

Glasner thanked his players for the providing him with special memories as he prepares to leave the Eagles.

“Right now, I can’t even believe that this was the last game,” the Austrian said.

“But, yes, I took this decision and it’s a chapter, it’s a good chapter, to read in the Crystal Palace book, but other chapters will follow.

“We hear a lot when the fans say thank you to us for giving them the best day of their life and all these emotions.

“And I said thank you to the players because it’s the same for me. The players, our fans, they give me and my family, who are here today, also great, incredible days. And that’s what I really appreciate.”
