Will UEFA make a scapegoat of Crystal Palace?

Imagine you win your first major trophy and then a month later, you still don't know if you're getting European football. Gabby and Mark speak about Crystal Palace's excruciating wait, how it all ties into Lyon's forced relegation, and whether UEFA are making a scapegoat out of the wrong club. That's with French football journalist Julien Laurens and Dan Cook, aka. HLTCO - the Palace fan channel. (10:04)

Plus, after Man City's dramatic exit is Juergen Klopp still right that the Club World Cup is the "worst idea ever implemented in football"? And can you imagine making the second round of Wimbledon but not being allowed to keep the £100,000 prize money?!
