Standard Liège lost one match all league season, winning the Belgian First Division for the ninth time in club history. The season marked the breakthrough of teenage midfield duo Marouane Fellaini and Steven Defour, while strikers Milan Jovanović and Dieumerci Mbokani were right up there in terms of the top scoring charts of the domestic top division. The UEFA Cup run ended early, being knocked out to eventual winners Zenit Saint Petersburg in the last qualifying round.
