2007–08 Standard Liège season Standard Liège lost just 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.
2006–07 Belgian First Division The 2006-07 season of the Belgian First Division began on July 28, 2006 and concluded on May 19, 2007. The championship was decided in the penultimate round on May 12, 2007, when Anderlecht moved five points clear of runners-up Genk to retain the title and win their 29th League Championship. At the other end of the table, the struggle to avoid automatic relegation went on until the final round, and it was Lierse who eventually prevailed. Having spent the entire season at the bottom of the standings and only just managed to close an eleven-point gap up to 17th, the Lier side won their last game to climb past Beveren and send the latter down to the Second Division. However, Lierse went on to lose the playoffs and was relegated anyway.
