UCL winners
PSV 1987/88
1987 as a 4-3-3
Guus Hiddink·4-3-3
- UCL
85OVR
Hiddink's PSV. Koeman as the passer, Kieft as the finish, Van Breukelen as the wall, and a European Cup on penalties.
The honour this page is built around: European Cup winners — Stuttgart on penalties.
People open this squad and immediately queue Ajax 1994/95. That pairing is a rivalry in the catalogue, not a historical fixture unless the years actually met.
Tags on the page — set pieces, control midfield, star defenders — are shorthand for how the model leans, not a documentary.

Where it hurts
Possession sits at 56, not a religion. Pressing 80, so turnovers are supposed to happen high up. Counter-attack 84: the point is the break, not the concert. Attack 86 is the loud number.
