"Our first game of the group was at PSV and we had a good result there and I think we can do the job at home and finish first in the group," said the Dutch midfielder.
"More than likely we can then get a better draw for the knockout stages. It had been nine years since I'd played there for PSV and I had a good reception. People were pleased to see me, and there were a lot of people still working there from when I was there.
"A lot of players I have played with at PSV or elsewhere have come back to PSV, and it will be good to see them again. I always enjoy playing against my old teams, it's always special."
