This spring, Eindhoven had already begun bidding farewell to yet another championship, but Ajax’s poor finish helped PSV retain the title. Now, their lead over all chasers has grown to more than ten points. The visitors from Munich are in a similar situation: they reclaimed the “silver salad bowl” last spring, and currently, their dropped points in all competitions can be counted on one hand.
In the Champions League, the Dutch side has looked rather inconsistent. They started with a home defeat to debutants Union, and lost to Atletico in December. There were draws away at Bayer Leverkusen and Olympiacos. At the same time, the club managed to thrash Napoli and Liverpool. However, in the previous matchday against Newcastle, they showed nothing and lost 0-3.
The German powerhouse suffered their only defeat of the entire season here, losing 1-3 to Arsenal in London. But they managed to win all their other matches. Last week, they secured a “grandmaster” 2-0 win over Union.
