Title win

Impressive scoring ratio
Bruggink joined PSV from FC Twente in 1997 and went on to play 152 games for the Eindhoven club, scoring 59 goals. However, he made only 12 starts and ten substitute appearances last term, although he still managed nine goals.
Cup glory
Mallorca will enter next season's UEFA Cup at the first-round stage having qualified by winning the Copa del Rey in June with a 3-0 final victory against RC Recreativo de Huelva.
