Crystal Palace, despite a challenging season, also made headlines by clinching their first major trophy, the Emirates FA Cup, after overcoming Manchester City, the four-time Premier League champions and treble winners.
Paris Saint-Germain, while not experiencing a trophy drought due to their dominance in Ligue 1, showcased their prowess by reaching the final and defeating Inter Milan 5-0.
