The 1994–95 season saw PSV Eindhoven finish 3rd in the Eredivisie, behind Ajax and Roda JC. The standout was Ronaldo Nazário (R9), who scored freely in his first season in Europe, quickly earning a reputation as one of the world’s brightest young talents. Alongside him, Luc Nilis and Phillip Cocu provided quality, while a young Jaap Stam emerged in defense. In the KNVB Cup, PSV reached the quarter-finals, and their UEFA Cup run ended early. Though Ajax overshadowed them, the season was remembered for R9’s explosive impact, which soon propelled him to global stardom.
