Marc Guéhi Speaks to Palace Fans After FA Cup Shock

Crystal Palace captain Marc Guéhi address fans after FA Cup exit has become a focal point in the wake of the club’s unexpected 2–1 loss to sixth-tier Macclesfield in the FA Cup third round. In the moments after full time, Guéhi went over to speak with travelling supporters, engaging directly with fans frustrated by the result and the team’s performance.

Crystal Palace entered the tie as holders and heavy favourites but were stunned by a spirited Macclesfield side, who led through goals from Paul Dawson and Isaac Buckley-Ricketts before a late free-kick by Yeremy Pino offered Palace a consolation. The defeat marked one of the biggest upsets in FA Cup history, with non-league Macclesfield outplaying the Premier League holders.

Immediately after the final whistle at Moss Rose Stadium, Guéhi approached the away end to address supporters, many of whom had travelled to Cheshire for the match. Live coverage captured the captain listening and speaking to fans as emotions ran high, reflecting the disappointment felt around the club and fanbase. Security intervened as tensions rose, but Guéhi’s decision to face the supporters was widely noted.
