Eindhoven -
Philips Stadion
PSV - Steaua Bucaresti 5-1
European Champions Cup, Second Round, 1 November 1989
As a PSV fan and season ticket holder it is difficult to choose one match for this website. Matches against Feyenoord and Ajax are always special. Especially the home match against Ajax in 2018 where PSV won the title after a 3-0 victory. And my first home match of PSV in 1987 in the legendary season 87/88 against Feyenoord (3-1) I will never forget. A special moment also was when my son walked with top referee Björn Kuipers on the pitch carry the match ball and winning the toss for PSV during PSV Feyenoord in 2017 (1-0 victory). The most special are the European nights at the Philips Stadium: the great campaign of the season 2004/2005 with stunning matches against Arsenal, Lyon and AC Milan always keep in my mind. The last legendary European night I attended was in 2025 in the return of the knock out stage beating Juventus. But the most special match remains the European match against Steaua Bucharest in 1989 with the cup holders of 1986 and 1988 meeting each other. PSV came back from a 0-1 loss in the first leg and a 0-1 in the return to a great 5-1 victory with legendary Romário and Juul Ellerman.
