Up through the final games of December 2014, Olympique Marseille was ranked as the top football club in the 2014 2015 French Ligue 1. But with a 1-2 loss against Montpellier at the beginning of January, the Olympians conceded first place to Olympique Lyonnais. Now the 2013 and 2014 Ligue 1 champs, Paris Saint Germain, are working hard to displace Marseille in the second-place spot. With a win this past weekend against Evian TG, Marseille managed to cling to the runner-up position-albeit, only slightly. Root for the team and push for a return to the top of the table today, with a brand new Marseille FC shirt.

2015 So Far
Picking up a new Marseille FC shirt from Soccer Box-whether you go for the home jersey or the away kit-is a great way to show your support for the football club. After playing some of their best soccer ever during the fall 2014 portion of the league, the Olympians seem to have fallen into a bit of a slump with the arrival of the New Year.
Of the five matches the squad has played so far in 2015, they've lost three. The first defeat, a January 4th Coupe de France fixture against Grenoble, saw Olympique eliminated from the tournament in the round of 64. It was a close fixture, one where the score remained tied at 3-3 after both regulation and extra time. Grenoble, playing on home turf, ultimately won on penalty kicks.
Since then, Marseille has played four games in Ligue 1. They've won the football fixtures in which they wore the Olympique Marseille home jersey 2014 2015, but lost the games played in the away shirt. The 1-2 loss against Montpellier, which took place on January 9th, lost the Olympians the top slot on the 2014 2015 league table. Meanwhile, a 2-1 home victory over Guingamp, as well as a 1-2 loss against Nice, kept the team in second place, but brought them into range of PSG.
Evian
Such were the circumstances in the air as the Olympians prepared to don the home version of the Marseille FC shirt and take on Evian TG. Coming into the weekend, both Olympique and PSG had 44 points in the 2014 2015 Ligue 1 standings. Both teams also had goal difference ratings of +20. Needless to say, the weekend was going to be an indirect battle between the two soccer squads to see who could take over ownership of the second-place slot.
As it turned out, the weekend would just be another tie between the two teams. On one hand, the Olympians treated fans in the Olympique Marseille home jersey 2014 2015 to a 1-0 win over Evian. Thanks to strong defense, as well as a 49-minute penalty goal from Andre-Pierre Gignac, Olympique was able to maintain their recent streak of winning games at home.
On the other hand, Paris Saint Germain also won a home game this past weekend, and also defeated their opponents-Rennes-with a score of 1-0. The twin outcomes keep the two football clubs tied on the 2014 2015 Ligue 1 standings table. Each team has 47 points in the standings, and 21+ in goal difference.
What's next for these two teams? Will fans in the Olympique jersey see their team return to the top of the division before all is said and done? Or will PSG claim a third consecutive French championship football title?
Cheer for the Olympians today, with a brand new Marseille FC shirt from Soccer Box! Whether you are looking for the home jersey, the away kit, or the third shirt, we have all versions of the 2014 2015 team jersey in stock!
