Royal Antwerp narrowly beat title contenders KRC Genk and Union Saint-Gilloise in injury time on the very last matchday. In addition to the Belgian championship, van Bommel also bagged the cup victory against KV Mechelen (2-0).
Thus, the Dutch ex-professional achieved a true feat: For the first time in their club history, "The Great Old" won the double. "This is my best moment on Belgian soil. In Belgium, they managed to win the double only seven times. That's extraordinary," said van Bologne.
