The 2013-14 campaign delivered a brilliant second-place finish for Feyenoord in the Eredivisie, securing a coveted spot in the UEFA Champions League qualifying rounds in Ronald Koeman's final season as manager. Leading the charge was the charismatic Italian striker Graziano Pellè, whose magnificent haul of 23 league goals proved decisive in a campaign built on a sensational mid-season recovery, culminating in a triumphant seven-game winning streak to secure the runner-up position. It was a vital year that marked a significant revival for De club aan de Maas, providing hope for future success and cementing Pellè's status as a fan-favorite goal assassin.
