The PSV Chronicle
Match22 Aug 2026
Guus Til leads the rout of Excelsior
3‑0, and Guus Til took the headlines on an afternoon when everything PSV tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

PSV sell Ricardo Pepi for $28.6M
Ricardo Pepi has left for Chelsea in a $28.6M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Not going: Sami Bouhoudane stays at PSV

PSV supporters have found a favourite in Ruben van Bommel

In brief
- Player ratings Ninety minutes of Guus Til at his very best
