1995–96 PSV Eindhoven season

PSV finished the season in second, one better than last season, with ten more points (once adjusting for the switch to three-points-for-a-win). The club also made its deepest run in Europe since winning the European Cup at the turn of the decade, with a 7-1 thrashing off Finnish team MyPa and a 5-3 victory at Leeds among the highlights as PSV reached the quarter-finals. A 2-2 draw at Spanish giants Barcelona gave the Dutch club a foundation for a second-leg triumph, but a late Barcelona goal gave the Catalans the victory on the night and a semi-final berth.
