UEFA Champions League 2005-06 player's profile

Midfield general Mark van Bommel is a tremendous talent who complements his consistent displays with trademark goals from distance.

National team
Van Bommel got a first taste of international action in October 2000 as the Netherlands beat Cyprus 4-0, but had to watch the 2002 FIFA World Cup from home as the Dutch missed out. For UEFA EURO 2004™, Van Bommel played in the opening seven Group 3 qualifiers, scoring the winning goal in Moldova, although groin surgery and then an achilles injury cost him a place in Portugal.

Club
Van Bommel had developed into arguably the Eredivisie's foremost midfield player during a seven-year spell at SC Fortuna Sittard, his first professional club, after breaking through at RKVV Maasbracht in his hometown. His crowning glory was supposed to be the Dutch Cup final of 1999, only for suspension to deny him a rousing farewell.

1999: Van Bommel was a league champion in his first season at the Philips stadium, scoring six goals. He was also one of the key reasons why they successfully defended it, fittingly scoring the only goal in the win against SC Cambuur Leeuwarden which clinched the title. In 2002/03, despite a groin injury midway through the season, Van Bommel was a driving force in PSV's march to the title, his third at the club. He scored nine goals from central midfield in 28 matches, and six the next season.

2004/05: A superb season, starting with two goals in the 5-0 demolition of FK Crvena Zvezda that helped PSV secure a place in the Champions League group stage. He produced some great performances as PSV finally reached the semi-finals, and claimed a hat-trick in the 4-0 March victory against AFC Ajax that proved crucial to regaining the title from the Amsterdam club. Fourteen league goals was a personal best, earning him both the Dutch Player of the Year award and a three-year contract from FC Barcelona following the expiry of his PSV deal - having bade farewell by lifting the Dutch Cup after a 4-0 win against Willem II.

Did you know?
Having joined Barcelona, Van Bommel was taught Spanish in a convent based just outside Eindhoven.
