Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has brushed aside any talk of Champions League qualification as the Eagles continue their strong run.
The Austrian coach insists the team will not look that far ahead as the season gathers pace.
Asked when he might allow himself to think about Europe’s elite competition, Glasner made his stance clear.
“May. That’s early enough. Game by game, preparing the team and see who is available. There’s so many games to play. There’s no time to think about where we are at the end of May.”
Palace are juggling challenges on multiple fronts. They remain competitive in the Premier League. They also have two crucial Conference League fixtures on the horizon. And the club is gearing up for an EFL Cup quarter-final at the Emirates.
Glasner stressed that focus must stay sharp as the fixtures come thick and fast.
“We have great games ahead. Not just in the Premier League but also in the Conference League we have two important games. We are also looking forward to the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup at the Emirates.”
He warned against thinking too far ahead in a season where momentum can shift quickly.
“It’s really important to stay focused on the next game and not waste our time or minds about May.”
For Glasner, the path remains simple. Stay grounded. Stay disciplined. And keep winning one match at a time.
