Crystal Palace fans have travelled to Norway, Poland, France, Republic of Ireland, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Cyprus, Italy and then Poland once more… but the journey doesn’t end there.

It is the largest city in Saxony and the eighth largest in Germany.
The final will be held at The Red Bull Arena – home of RB Leipzig, which has a capacity just shy of 48,000.
Augustusplatz is the biggest square in the city and held the Euro 2024 fanzone, whilst Karl-Liebknecht-Straße is one of the main areas for eating and drinking.
Speaking of which, if you fancy some of the local tipple – gose (a sour wheat beer) is the go-to.
As for food, regional specialities include Leipziger Lerche (pastry filled with marzipan and jam), and Leipziger Allerlei (mixed vegetables with crayfish).
Leipzig/Halle (LEJ) is the closest airport, but options to fly direct from London are limited and rather pricey. However Leipzig is well-connected to major cities both inside and outside of Germany by train. It can be reached from Berlin in just over an hour, and from Dresden and Nuremberg in less than two hours.
