Dutch club football is experiencing an unprecedented season in Europe. After Ajax became group winner in the Champions League on Wednesday, Feyenoord, AZ, PSV and Vitesse ensured even more success in Europe last night.
Feyenoord on THE became group winners in the Conference League and also PSV assured itself of wintering in Europe (if not in the higher ranked Europa League, then in the Conference League). In addition, Vitesse through a handsome draw Stade Rennais also has a chance for the next round in the Conference League.
And so, for the first time since 2011/2012, the Netherlands has at least four clubs in the knockout phase of European tournaments.
Ranking
At the time, Ajax, PSV, FC Twente and AZ were still in European action after the winter (all in the Europa League). The Netherlands then collected 13,600 points over the entire year for the UEFA coefficient list, the ranking with which European tickets are distributed.
That number of points is still unrivaled, but there is a good chance that the record will be broken this season. At the moment, the Netherlands is already at 12,600 points. Only England (13,571) is doing better this year with top clubs such as Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea.
