The London club was fined €10,000 for discrediting UEFA and for displaying a message deemed inappropriate for a sporting event.
Recall that Crystal Palace was moved from the Europa League to the Conference League because American businessman John Textor owns both Palace and French club Lyon, which also qualified for the same European competition.
