The 2009-10 campaign delivered a triumphant 30th league title for Anderlecht as the Purple and White conquered the newly restructured Belgian Pro League. Spearheading the attack were the team's joint top scorers, the brilliant attacking midfielder M'barek Boussoufa and the phenomenal young breakout star Romelu Lukaku, who both notched 14 goals. The team, under the steady hand of coach Ariël Jacobs, navigated the new Championship Play-off format to clinch the title with a memorable 1-2 victory over rivals Club Brugge. It was a defining year that marked the sensational emergence of the then 17-year-old Lukaku onto the European stage, cementing the club's dominance in the new era of Belgian football and featuring a run to the Europa League Round of 16.
