The 2004-05 campaign delivered a historic domestic double for PSV Eindhoven as The Boeren clinched the Eredivisie title and the KNVB Cup under manager Guus Hiddink. Leading the line was Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink, whose 19 league goals anchored a side that delivered a standout league performance. The season was truly defined by their thrilling, heroic run to the UEFA Champions League Semi-finals, where a star-studded team featuring captain Mark van Bommel, Phillip Cocu, and Ji-sung Park agonizingly lost to AC Milan on away goals. It was a magnificent year that solidified a new golden era for the club.
