Crystal Palace entered the tournament as favourites, and it is no surprise to see them reach the last four.

But truth be told, their journey this season has been far from smooth. Oliver Glasner delivered them their first-ever major trophy and their highest Premier League point tally last season. Although this season started with them lifting the Community Shield, the Eagles struggled to juggle between their European and domestic assignments. Having missed out on automatic qualification, they played the extra round in the Conference League. They sit 13th in the Premier League and six points off European spots.

Winning the Conference League will give them an easier route into Europe again. After a sensational quarterfinal tie against Fiorentina, where they won 4-2, they are keen to march into the finals, given that the second leg will take place at their home. Despite not winning their last three games, confidence is high in the camp, according to defender Maxence Lacroix. "We want to win another trophy. I think we just say: everything is possible. We showed it last year, and I think people, when they come to support us, see that we can do something this year. We want to give them this trophy, but you have to be respectful and start with Shakhtar," he added.

While Palace are winless in three games, their opponents, Shakhtar Donetsk, are basking in form at the right time. A 3-1 away victory at Kudrivka saw them extend their winning streak to three in the Premier League. They now sit atop the league with 60 points and enjoy an eight-point lead over LNZ Cherkasy.

With what could be their third league title in the last four seasons now looking like a formality, Arda Turan will now focus on the semifinal tie at hand. After reaching the semis of the Europa League in 2020, they are back on the big stages again and would love to prove their European pedigree on the night.
