The Eagles surrendered a lead in losing 2-1 to the French side on Thursday (27.11.25) and the coach thought that his team paid the price for squandering opportunities.

Glasner told TNT Sports: "It’s easy, when you have twice the empty goal in front of you and you miss the goal twice hitting the post.

"Could be, should be 3-1 up and then we have a big chance and in the next situation you are 2-1 down. We’ve had this too often, to be honest, this season that we didn’t decide the game when we could decide it.

"Strasbourg, they are very good, they have very quick players, we knew it. You can concede the equaliser but then we have the next empty net goal we are missing and then we have the next big chance. Then you lose a game and I think that’s why we deserved to lose today."

Palace are down to 18th place in the Conference League table after their second European defeat of the campaign and goalscorer Tyrick Mitchell called for the team to be more "clinical" in front of goal.

The defender said: "It’s something that I’ve been trying to work on, something that I think this season got a bit better, so I’m happy that I contributed but unfortunately we didn’t take away three points.

"It’s disappointing because we created some decent chances. The two open goals were great chances.

"We just have to be more clinical. I think if we score that second goal, I think we take away three points.

"We know in every game we’ll get chances. In every game we can win the match. So we step onto the pitch knowing that we can take away three points from any team. But today it didn’t happen."
