“I think if you look at Feyenoord’s points total and the way they’ve played, in any normal season they are winning the league again but PSV have been absolutely outstanding.

The journalist added that Slot developed a rivalry with former Liverpool nemesis Jose Mourinho, with Feyenoord coming up against his Roma side in each of the last three seasons, including the 2022 Europa Conference League final.
