Merely 12 months previously, the Eagles found themselves 18th in the domestic competition and alarmingly winless.

Now they are FA Cup winners and experiencing the most extended period of matches unbeaten in their 120-year existence, after achieving a memorable initial success abroad in continental football facing Dynamo Kyiv in the continental competition.

Record-Breaking Achievement

The manager's soaring Palace are unbeaten in 19 consecutive fixtures.

They sit third in the Premier League with the sole unbeaten record - three successes and three ties - having halted leaders Liverpool's 100% start.

Palace were last defeated a match on 16 April when they were beaten five-nil at St James' Park.

Continental Achievement

Yet they have not looked back from that point, with perhaps a measure of how far they have come emphasized on recently, when their opponents - a team steeped in European history - employed a approach and methods specifically geared to try to stop Palace's threat.

Not that it worked.

The team defeated Liverpool on the weekend to equal the 18-fixture unbeaten streak last achieved between spring and summer 1969, with their former manager as their manager.

Coach's Perspective

"They are extremely motivated to achieve, and very determined, and obviously we want to maintain their momentum, and it is quite simple to stay focused," said Glasner.

The unbeaten run furthermore measures positively compared to sides on the continent.

Regarding winning sequences, European giants the Bavarian side are next on the list across international big five leagues at nine matches.

"I'm proud that we could start the Conference League away facing a quality opponent," continued the manager.

Outstanding Results

The team's results is even more remarkable given the competition they have encountered.

Their run contains two victories and a tie facing their rivals, an domestic cup final win over Manchester City, and stalemates at both the London rivals and the Blues.

Remarks on broadcast media, ex-international the expert, expressed the sentiment that the Eagles - among the frontrunners to win the Conference League - are in a successful era of their existence.

"Nineteen games unbeaten, that is absolutely remarkable. Credit to them, a maiden victory on the road in Europe," he commented.

Numerical Overview

Only Liverpool, the Gunners and Manchester City have won more domestic points than Palace in this season.

The Eagles' defence has also allowed just three strikes in their initial half-dozen Premier League fixtures now, even though the majority being facing teams who placed in the top seven in 2024-25.

This represents an amazing turnaround for a team that lost five of their initial eight domestic fixtures the previous campaign and took until 27 October to achieve a league win.

"I don't think about the sequence, because it has occurred, so for me it is vital the future."
