Feyenoord and PSV played out in the Champions League? This is still at stake | Dutch football

For the first time this season, the Netherlands took fifth place in the coefficient rankings two weeks ago out of your hands. France passed the Netherlands, which will now have to make every effort to claim the three permanent tickets for the Champions League. That is why PSV and Feyenoord must achieve a good result. Both teams can earn 0.400 points against Arsenal and Celtic respectively. France now has 0.364 points more.

The final round of matches in the Champions League is also an excellent opportunity for Feyenoord and PSV to supplement the club’s coffers. A victory in the billion dollar ball is rewarded with 2.8 million euros. A draw yields 900,000 euros. Both clubs have already received a starting premium of more than 15 million euros. This happened again for PSV thanks to the wintering 9.6 million euros on top.

Santiago Giménez has already scored eighteen times in the Premier League and is on course to do so ancient record of Coen Dillen (43 goals) shoot out of the books, but can seriously put themselves in the spotlight among the European top in the Champions League. The Mexican will be keen to increase his goal tally of two in the billion-dollar ball. Also PSV player Ricardo Pepi, who gets a chance as a starterwill want to grab the spotlight.

And then there are also some records that could be broken. PSV can reach eleven points in the CL group stage for the first time in history, while Luuk de Jong can become the player with the most CL goals for PSV. He now shares that record (eight goals) with Ruud van Nistelrooij.

And what about Feyenoord? Arne Slot’s team can equal the club record for most Champions League victories in a season (3 in 1997/1998). The people of Rotterdam must also guard against a negative record. A defeat at Celtic means that Feyenoord loses for the eighth away game in a row in the Champions League, a record that is now shared with Ajax (also 7 away defeats in a row in the years 2003 and 2004).
