Six months ago, asking Mitchell the highlight of his time at Palace might have been hard to predict.
But following the events of Saturday, 17th May 2025, where he and his teammates brought home that first major trophy, it isn’t hard to guess the answer.
“I couldn’t really gauge the feeling of what it would be like before the game,” Mitchell explains. “Because I didn’t really think about what it would actually be like winning a trophy.
“You see other players on TV, winning other trophies or the FA Cup in previous years, but that can’t really prepare you.
“I’ve thought about that moment a lot since, but honestly, it’s just indescribable. I suppose it’s just like a numb feeling, probably because you can’t take in what is actually happening.
“But it also gives you this feeling of wanting to go and win something again. You want to be back celebrating to take more in the next time.
“Football never stops, so you’re moving on quickly – we had a game just three days after! The new season is then soon coming up.
“Often footage of the game or the parade will just come on the TV in the background or maybe on YouTube – it still doesn’t feel real, a few months on.”
