The 2021-22 campaign delivered silverware for K.A.A. Gent as The Buffalos clinched the Belgian Cup title and secured a respectable 5th-place finish in the First Division A. Leading the charge was the sensational Moroccan forward Tarik Tissoudali, whose 19 league goals proved decisive in a campaign built on defensive solidity and a phenomenal second half of the season under Hein Vanhaezebrouck. Tissoudali's excellence was recognized with the coveted Ebony Shoe award. It was a triumphant year that marked a return to the winners' circle and remains a defining chapter in the club's modern history.
