Image source, Getty ImagesCrystal Palace drew one and lost one in a fixture double-header with Bundesliga side Mainz in Austria, with plenty of players getting valuable minutes for Oliver Glasner's side.
In the first game, Jean-Philippe Mateta opened the scoring against his former club and Dean Henderson pulled off a number of saves.
Ultimately though, Mainz levelled with just five minutes remaining as Nelson Weiper scored from a rebound.
The second was more high-scoring, as Mainz raced into a three-goal lead against a completely changed Palace side.
Romain Esse and Maxence Lacroix narrowed the deficit in the second half but could not prevent the Eagles sliding to defeat.
There is something unique about a football fan's love for their club.
As once said by the great Arrigo Sacchi: "Football is the most important of the least important things in life".
Tears of joy - and heartbreak. Friendships forged. Memories that last a lifetime.
Sometimes it is there from the beginning, sometimes a moment is what starts it all or takes it to another level.
Wherever it comes from, the love for a club is often there for life.
As a new season edges closer, we want to know why you love Palace.

Image source, Getty ImagesDerby County are hopeful of bringing Crystal Palace midfielder David Ozoh back to Pride Park on a loan deal.
The 20-year-old spent last season with the Rams in the Championship and managed to make a positive impression despite making only 10 league appearances in an injury-hit campaign.
BBC Derby Sport report that the Rams are working to get a new loan agreement for Ozoh over the line.
Derby have already made six summer signings and head coach John Eustace has expressed a desire to further bolster his options across the pitch.
Image source, Getty ImagesCrystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner says pre-season preparations are going "really well" and his team are "on track" following their 3-0 win over League Two side Crawley Town on Friday night.
Jean-Philippe Mateta, Eberechi Eze and Daniel Munoz were all on the scoresheet as the Eagles made it two wins and two clean sheets from two pre-season fixtures.
"Pre-season is going really well," Glasner told Palace TV, external after the friendly. "The players are doing really well. They are being very ambitious and showing great work ethic.
"I'm really pleased with the performance. The players did well, scored nice goals, created many chances and we got another clean sheet - so we are on track.
"It is very important for us to get back into the rhythm and into the pattern of how we want to play.
"All of the players are arriving on different days. Chris Richards will join us for the Austria camp because he played in the [Concacaf Gold Cup] final with the USA. Marc Guehi has a small injury but will train with us on Sunday. Eddie Nketiah is the same.
"We don't want to take any risks."
The Eagles head to Austria next week to continue their pre-season preparations and Glasner is looking forward to the squad "spending time together" after lifting the FA Cup and setting a club-record Premier League points tally last season.
"It's not like everybody goes on vacation and then after six or seven weeks, you come back together and you snap your fingers and everything is back again," Glasner added. "You have to invest, work and spend time together - then the bond will be there again.
"Therefore it is good to have time together, have training sessions, have video meetings with the players - as a team and individually - and also to enjoy the time.
"Unfortunately, the weather in London will be better than the weather in Austria, but no problem! We are looking forward to having a very intense week."
Image source, Crystal Palace FCCrystal Palace have launched "Eagle Gold" - a new kit for the upcoming season.
It is a nod to the Eagles' 2024-25 FA Cup win - their first major trophy.
The club says Palace will wear gold "to celebrate that triumph".
What do you make of it?
Image source, Getty ImagesCrystal Palace chairman Steve Parish has confirmed the club will appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) over Uefa's decision to demote Crystal Palace from the Europa League for breaching its multi-club ownership rules.
"We are still fighting," Parish told the The Rest Is Football, external podcast on Wednesday.
"There's an appeal process, so we go to Cas, and we're very hopeful. We think we've got great legal arguments.
"We don't think this is the right decision by any means. We know, unequivocally, that John [Textor] didn't have decisive influence over the club.
"We know we proved that beyond all reasonable doubt because it's a fact."
Textor is currently in the process of selling his stake in Crystal Palace to New York Jets owner Woody Johnson.
Image source, Getty ImagesFormer Crystal Palace goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey has announced his retirement from professional football.
The 38-year-old confirmed his decision on social media, writing: "I have decided to bring my playing career to an end. I look back with gratitude and forward with optimism as I take the next steps in my football journey."
After joining the Eagles from boyhood club Wolves in January 2014, Hennessey spent seven years at Selhurst Park, during which he made 132 appearances.
The Wales international also went on to have spells at Burnley and Nottingham Forest as a back-up shot-stopper, racking up 187 appearances and 37 clean sheets in his Premier League career.

Image source, Getty ImagesThe gathering of Crystal Palace fans in and around Selhurst Park on Tuesday night was just the start - a peaceful protest that was not just about Palace, but about the sport we love that is slowly being taken away from us. This is about football.
What has happened to Palace could happen to any club. The frustration is that we have not been allowed to enjoy the FA Cup win this summer as we should have been and, with Uefa dragging its feet over a decision, it has also impacted the club in terms of planning for the new season.
Yes, we still have European football, but there is a vast difference between the two competitions. Not just that, but the FA Cup winners face a two-legged play-off in the Conference League.
The Palace fans who congregated, led by the Holmesdale Fanatics, showed everyone the level of frustration we are all feeling.
All ages were in attendance, along with some fans of other clubs supporting our cause, targeting Uefa and its rules that we think are unfit for purpose.
Palace are extremely well run financially and have not been in the spotlight, but are being made an example of.
You have to ask yourself if this would happen to Real Madrid, Barcelona etc.
This is just the start. Football fans need to make a stand against what is happening to our sport.
There is no reason to exclude the Eagles from their rightful place in the Europa League.

Image source, Getty ImagesAmid the news surrounding Crystal Palace's participation in Europe over the weekend, the Eagles released their new home kit for the 2025-26 season.
The new design features the classic red and blue colouring, with slightly narrower stripes than previous years' kits, which, the club say pay "tribute to shirts from years gone by".
The white, red and blue v-neck trim then "provides a fresh twist on a classic Palace style".
The launch saw Jean-Philippe Mateta, Marc Guehi, Maxence Lacroix, Eddie Nketiah, Adam Wharton, Justin Devenny and Romain Esse model the new kit, as well as Issy Sibley and Chloe Arthur from Palace Women.
New signing Walter Benitez also modelled the club's light green goalkeeper home jersey for the first time.
Palace wore the kit as they kicked off their pre-season fixtures with a 1-0 win against Millwall on Saturday.
Rangers are pushing to sign Crystal Palace winger Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, 22, on loan but they face competition from multiple other clubs. (Football Insider, external)
