The 2017-18 campaign delivered vital silverware for Feyenoord as De club aan de Maas clinched the KNVB Cup, securing a coveted Europa League spot. Despite finishing 4th in the Eredivisie, the season was defined by the attacking brilliance of Steven Berghuis, whose 18 league goals led the charge. The emotional return of club legend Robin van Persie added a layer of veteran class to a campaign that marked a significant high point under manager Giovanni van Bronckhorst.
