Richards was proud to bring the trophy back to the fans in South London. He described the feeling of seeing the fans emotional and crying with joy. Many fans had never experienced their team winning a major trophy before.

Richards shared some stories about the team's celebrations after the win. He saw a fan running around South London with a Palace flag and another fan getting Palace player Ebere Eze's name tattooed on their body.

The team's celebrations lasted for two weeks. However, Palace must still meet with UEFA to ensure they comply with the club's financial rules. The team's owner, John Textor, has a stake in both Palace and another French club, Lyon. This situation may raise some concerns according to UEFA rules.
