Crystal Palace take on Rayo Vallecano in the biggest match of their season as they look to win a European trophy for the very first time.
Last year, the Eagles won their very first major trophy by beating Manchester City in the FA Cup final and they can now add a second to the cabinet with victory over the Spanish club in the Conference League final tonight.
Oliver Glasner, who is leaving Palace at the end of the season, will hope to sign off in style after overseeing a fine European campaign in which his team have overcome some tricky situations to reach the final and be in with a shot at winning silverware.
Additionally, a win for Palace would also secure them a place in the Europa League next year and give them another season in Europe despite finishing 15th in the Premier League table. However, Rayo Vallecano come into the match unbeaten in nine games and will have their sights on a trophy lift of their own.
