Richards spoke about the joy of seeing fans emotional and crying during the celebrations. He also mentioned the dedication of some fans, who showed their support by wearing Palace flags and even getting tattoos of the team's players. Richards said that the team celebrated for two weeks after the win, which was a special moment for everyone involved.

However, the team's victory comes with some challenges. Crystal Palace needs to meet with UEFA's club financial control body to ensure they comply with the organization's rules. The team's owner, John Textor, holds a significant stake in the club through his company, but he also owns French club Lyon, which has qualified for the same competition. This situation requires Palace to demonstrate that they do not fall foul of UEFA's multi-club ownership rules.

Richards' comments highlight the significance of the FA Cup win for Crystal Palace and their fans. The team's victory is not only a testament to their hard work and dedication but also a source of pride for the community.
