Champions League 2025-26 shot-on-target conversion leaders
Which teams have converted shots on target into goals most efficiently in the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League? This ranking uses goals per 100 shots (…)

PSV Eindhoven is a historic Dutch football club founded in 1913 in the city’s Philipsdorp district. Known officially as Philips Sport Vereniging, PSV grew from its Philips employee origins into one of the Netherlands’ leading professional institutions. Its red-and-white identity, central Philips Stadion and Brabant character remain central to the club’s profile. European success, a strong development culture and a wide scouting network have helped connect Eindhoven with football communities far beyond the Netherlands.
PSV’s recorded squad contains 31 players: 12 midfielders, eight attackers, eight defenders and three goalkeepers. The midfield group includes J. Veerman, J. Schouten, G. Til, P. Wanner and S. Mijnans, while the attack features A. Pléa, I. Perišić, R. Pepi and D. Man. Defensive options include S. Dest, Mauro Júnior, R. Flamingo and Yarek Gasiorowski. Goalkeepers M. Kovář, N. Olij and T. Smolenaars complete the listed positional balance. Other listed attackers include C. Driouch and E. Bajraktarevic, and the defence also includes A. Obispo and E. Bassey. Midfield options additionally include K. Sano and N. Fernandez.
Peter Bosz is the most recent recorded appointment in PSV’s coaching timeline, beginning on 1 June 2023; the record does not establish a current role. Fred Rutten’s entry runs from 1 May to 1 June 2023, following Ruud van Nistelrooij from May 2022 to May 2023. Roger Schmidt is recorded from July 2020 to May 2022, while Ernest Faber’s entry begins in December 2019. The chronology documents successive appointments and dates without asserting a present holder.

PSV’s recorded movement shows activity across several registration types rather than a single transfer pattern. The arrivals include direct transfers from NEC Nijmegen, Bayer Leverkusen, AZ Alkmaar, Parma, Borussia Mönchengladbach, SC Freiburg, AZ Alkmaar again, Valencia and Sparta Rotterdam, alongside F. Kostić’s free-agent arrival. The list also contains a loan from AS Roma, a loan entry for M. Kovář from Bayer Leverkusen, and returns from loans involving players previously with clubs including Sparta Rotterdam, Konyaspor, Waalwijk, Antwerp, Groningen and Lommel United. Departures similarly combine transfers, loans, free-agent statuses and returns to former clubs. Examples include I. Saibari’s move to Bayern München, loans to Waalwijk, Lommel United, Konyaspor, Antwerp and Groningen, and returns to Bayer Leverkusen and AS Roma. These entries describe varied player-registration changes, not a complete seasonal balance or financial total.
PSV’s recorded competition profile is anchored by the Eredivisie, with participation recorded from 2010 through 2025 and marked as recent for the latest cycle. The club also has recent records in the KNVB Beker, UEFA Champions League and Friendlies Clubs, each extending through 2025. The Super Cup is recorded through 2024 and is therefore treated as historical in this profile. Earlier continental entries include the UEFA Europa League through 2022 and the UEFA Europa Conference League in 2021. Together, these records show domestic league and cup continuity alongside recurring Champions League participation and earlier appearances in other UEFA competitions.
PSV Eindhoven, officially Philips Sport Vereniging, was founded in 1913 in Eindhoven, Netherlands. The club began as a works team for Philips employees, and that origin still shapes its identity: the Philips legacy links the institution to the city’s industrial history while its professional football operation now functions with long-term planning and a supervisory board. PSV is part of Dutch football’s traditional Big Three alongside Ajax and Feyenoord, giving it a national profile that extends well beyond its home region.
The club’s home is Philips Stadion in the Philipsdorp district. The venue occupies the site associated with PSV’s foundation, making it an unusually direct physical connection between the modern team and its early history. Red-and-white vertical stripes define the traditional home kit, with black commonly associated with the shorts. The oval badge carries the PSV initials over the striped motif and is framed by a gold border and laurel elements.
On the pitch, PSV’s durable reputation rests on domestic ambition, technical development and an outward-looking scouting network. The academy at De Herdgang forms an important part of that ecosystem, while recruitment and player development have helped make Eindhoven a bridge between emerging talent and major European leagues. The club’s culture is often described through the nickname Boeren, a term supporters embrace as a sign of Brabant’s practical, industrious character.
PSV’s historical reach is also European. The 1978 UEFA Cup and the 1988 European Cup stand as the club’s defining continental triumphs, while recurring participation in UEFA competitions has kept Eindhoven visible on the wider football stage. Its identity therefore combines corporate roots, regional belonging, a recognizable visual tradition and a sustained professional focus on development, competition and European relevance.
