Jeffrey Schlupp Clinches FA Cup Glory as Crystal Palace Stun Manchester City

Veteran midfielder Jeffrey Schlupp has added another major trophy to his cabinet after receiving an FA Cup winner’s medal following Crystal Palace’s sensational 1-0 victory over Manchester City at Wembley Stadium.

Though Schlupp spent the second half of the 2024/25 season on loan at Celtic, his early contribution to Palace’s cup journey — a third-round appearance against Stockport County — ensured his eligibility for the prestigious honor. The 31-year-old took to Instagram Stories to proudly showcase his medal, celebrating what he described as a historic moment for the South London club.

Eberechi Eze sealed the shock win for Palace, finishing coolly in the 16th minute from a pinpoint cross by Daniel Muñoz, as Roy Hodgson’s men defied the odds to defeat the reigning champions.

For Schlupp, the medal adds to an impressive list of accolades that includes a Premier League title with Leicester City in 2016 and, more recently, the 2024/25 Scottish Premiership crown with Celtic. Despite his continued success, Schlupp’s future remains in the balance, with only a month left on his contract at Selhurst Park after eight seasons with the Eagles.

As speculation swirls around his next move, one thing is clear: Jeffrey Schlupp remains a proven winner wherever he goes.
