County Antrim Shield at the Ballymena Showgrounds after a 4-2 victory over Ballymena United on 23 January 2018. Crusaders finished the season having scored an incredible 106 league goals, with over half of this tally coming from the attacking trio of Paul Heatley, Gavin Whyte and Jordan Owens. In the first qualifying round of the 2018–19 Champions League, Crusaders received their biggest European draw since facing Fulham 7 years earlier, being drawn against European group stage regulars and Bulgarian champions Ludogorets Razgrad. However, the tie turned out to be no contest as the Crues were thrashed 7-0 at the Ludogorets Arena, with goals from Marcelinho, Claudiu Keșerü and a 7-minute hat-trick from substitute Jakub Swierczok. The return leg at Seaview then ended 2-0 to the Bulgarian visitors, thanks to a strike from Swierczok and an own goal from left-back Rodney Brown. After an uneventful league campaign, the Crues completed a cup double by winning the County Antrim Shield with a 4-3 victory over Linfield, and the Irish Cup with a 3-0 victory over Ballinamallard United. In the 2019–20 UEFA Europa League, Crusaders beat B36 Tórshavn 5–2 on aggregate to reach the second qualifying round, where they faced English Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers. In the first leg at Molineux the Crues lost 2-0, before losing 4-1 at Seaview in the second leg. In March 2022 Crusaders members voted 236–36 at an EGM in favour of accepting a substantial investment by a consortium which includes Liverpool goalscoring legend Ian Rush. The IRAMA company, of which Rush is a significant shareholder, were seeking to buy a majority stake in the club. The move will see Crusaders link up with 15 other Ian Rush Academies, aim to improve its scouting network, and aid the transition to a full-time professional set-up. In May 2022, the club reached the final of the 2021–22 Irish Cup. Trailing 1-0 for most of the match, Josh Robinson equalised in the last minute of the game to force extra time, and with penalty kicks approaching at the end of extra time, substitute Johnny McMurray scored the winning goal with virtually the last kick of the game to seal an extraordinary victory. Stadium The team played at a variety of venues before settling at Seaview in 1921, which is still their home to this day. Earlier home venues included the Glen (which later became part of Alexandra Park), Simpson's Boiler
