A Champions League schedule built for points
PSV got a draw that demands results. Regning champions, pundits agree: this group is made for the knockout phase. AD's assessment is blunt, 9 or 10 points is realistic (3). That means your team has to deliver.
Real Madrid on the horizon, Dumfries reunion too
Real Madrid headline the opponent list. The draw also sets up a meeting with Denzel Dumfries, the former PSV right-back now at Inter (4) (5). Lutsharel Geertruida faces his old rivals as well (5). The away trips are the kind that test a squad.
Oosterwolde was on the list once
Jayden Oosterwolde was considered as a PSV reinforcement at some point, according to Rik Elfrink (1). The left-back ended up at AS Roma. Elfrink revealed the option was looked at, but it never happened.
