In a remarkable achievement, PSV Eindhoven secured their 25th Dutch championship title, breaking records and thrilling fans across the nation. Dominating the Eredivisie, they remained undefeated for 17 consecutive games, a streak finally halted on the 27th matchday by NEC Nijmegen with a 3-1 defeat.
Key victories, including a stunning 5-2 win against Ajax and a crucial 2-1 triumph at Feyenoord’s formidable De Kuip stadium, propelled PSV towards their title triumph. Spearheading their success was veteran Dutch striker Luuk de Jong, whose 27 goals earned him joint-top scorer status in the league.
While they aim to emulate the legendary 1987/88 Guus Hiddink-led squad, who triumphed in the European Cup final, this victory soothes the frustrations of past seasons when PSV settled for second place.
PSV’s European campaign was also notable, finishing second in a challenging Champions League group before exiting in the last 16 against Borussia Dortmund.
Meanwhile, rivals Ajax endured a torrid season, falling to unprecedented lows. A shocking 6-0 defeat to Feyenoord in the “Klassieker” epitomized their struggles, compounded by off-field chaos and boardroom controversies.
As PSV basks in glory, Dutch football witnesses a shift in fortunes, with Vitesse Arnhem suffering relegation for the first time in decades due to league violations.
