Crystal Palace supporters staged a protest outside Selhurst Park on Tuesday evening following UEFA’s ruling to demote the club from the Europa League to the Conference League. Palace qualified for this season’s Europa League courtesy of their shock win over Manchester City in the FA Cup final in May, which secured a historic first major trophy.

Crystal Palace must take their case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport if they want to play in the Europa League after being kicked out by Uefa over multi-club conflicts. European football’s governing body decreed on Friday that Palace and Lyon breached rules on multi-club ownership because of their common links to US investor John Textor.
