UEFA MAFIA! ❌ Crystal Palace fans protest at UEFA headquarters over Europa League exclusion 👏🏻
A group of Crystal Palace ultras traveled to UEFA’s headquarters in Switzerland to protest the club’s controversial exclusion from European football. They brought a suitcase full of fake money and personally handed a letter to UEFA president Aleksander Čeferin. 💰
Palace had secured a place in the Europa League by winning the FA Cup. However, UEFA blocked their participation due to multi-club ownership rules. Since Palace and French side Olympique Lyon share the same owners, only the higher-ranked club in their domestic league — Lyon — was allowed to take part in Europe. 🤯
Fans see the decision as deeply unfair, arguing that the team earned their spot on the pitch and should not be punished for ownership structures beyond their control. 😤
