• THE BIGGER PICTURE

  There's no doubt it's been a spectacular season for PSV who now sit 12 points clear of nearest challengers Feyenoord. Bosz's side have also scored an impressive 107 goals in just 32 games this season and still have two matches left to play. Dest and Tillman both moved to the club on loan last summer and have played key roles for PSV. Pepi signed on a permanent deal and has scored eight goals this season for the Dutch club.

• DID YOU KNOW

  PSV have been crowned league champions for the 25th time in club history, with this their first league title since 2018 (6 seasons ago); only in 1963-1975 (12), 1978-1986 (8), and 2008-2015 (7) was the gap between two PSV championships bigger. Meanwhile, Bosz becomes the second oldest manager to ever win the Eredivisie title (60 days and 166 days today), after Sef Vergoossen in 2008 (60 years and 348 days, also with PSV).
