**Macclesfield's Historic FA Cup Upset: "Did That Really Happen?"** In a stunning FA Cup third-round victory, sixth-tier Macclesfield knocked out Premier League champions Crystal Palace 2-1, making history as the biggest FA Cup upset in the competition's history. Manager John Rooney, a Macclesfield player before becoming manager in July, was ecstatic about the win, saying, "It was a special day, especially to have my family there, including my brother Wayne, who was visibly emotional during the game." Rooney's side, the only non-league team left in the FA Cup, will learn their fourth-round opponents on Monday. However, there's no time for celebration as they return to FA Trophy action on Tuesday against Woking, with a busy schedule of eight league matches to fit in before their fourth-round tie. For players like defender Sam Heathcote, who has a part-time job as a PE teacher, the win was a reality check. "Straight back to it this morning, back down to reality," Heathcote said, adding that he hopes the win will inspire his pupils to believe in the impossible. With their historic win, Macclesfield is set to try and make the most of their FA Cup run, but Rooney knows that their focus must remain on the next challenge.
