There were wild scenes in the stands at the Stadio Artemio Franchi amongst the travelling fans at the final whistle.
They were joined in their celebrations by the Palace players, including goalkeeper Dean Henderson.
The stopper even halted a post-match interview to start a chant for the supporters.
Henderson spoke to TNT Sports in front of the away end at full-time in Florence.
Reflecting on reaching the semi-finals, he admitted: “This is unbelievable for this football club, sensational when you think the FA Cup last season and then to keep going and create a new chapter. It’s phenomenal.”
However, Henderson was soon interrupted by chants of ‘Deano give us a song’ could be heard from the Palace fans.
He quickly obliged as he pulled away from the microphone and shouted up to the supporters.
The 29-year-old then said of the fans: “They have stuck by us in the difficult times this season and hopefully we can go and deliver something really special.”
When asked if Palace can now go on and win the Conference League, Henderson said: “Of course, that’s what the aim is.
