Paris Saint Germain is the reigning champion of France's premier Ligue 1 football division, as well as a team that's currently riding high on two consecutive national championship titles. Even with those credentials, PSG hasn't been the frontrunner to take the 2014 2015 Ligue 1 title in quite some time. Indeed, Olympique Marseille, last season's sixth place squad, ascended to the top slot on the division standings table all the way back in mid-September, and the wearers of the Paris Saint Germain jersey haven't been able to catch up since.
Until now, that is. With a key away win last weekend against Saint-Etienne, Paris Saint Germain finally tied Marseille on the league standings table. (Both clubs now have 44 points in the standings.) You can celebrate the long-pursued success today, with a brand new PSG away jersey 2014 2015! The jersey is available for purchase at Soccer Box, where we also have several other versions of the PSG kit. In addition to the white and black away shirt and the blue home jersey, we also have stock of the club's third shirt.
Saint-Etienne
Regardless of which version of the Paris Saint Germain jersey you like best, right now is the perfect time to visit Soccer Box to buy one! Now that PSG has caught up with the Olympians, their chances of winning a third consecutive Ligue 1 title look better than they have in months.
Indeed, it was a great weekend for the Parisian football squad. Marseille lost an away fixture against Nice, creating an opening for PSG to catch up with them on the league table. In addition, the Parisians donned the PSG away jersey 2014 2015 and won a satisfying victory against Saint-Etienne-currently ranked as the fourth place soccer team in France's top football league.
Not that PSG's victory over the Olympians was that surprising. The first time the two teams met in the 2014 2015 season, the Parisians won a huge 5-0 victory. That game remains Paris Saint Germain's biggest win of the season so far, and made them the easy favorites to win the January 21st rematch.
Granted, the 5-0 shutout came at a home game for the wearers of the Paris Saint Germain jersey, while the January 21st game was an away fixture. Without the home field advantage, the squad wasn't able to formulate the sublime scoring momentum they had in the first match. However, playing away from home didn't completely stunt their soccer abilities. On the contrary, PSG still shut Saint-Etienne out, winning the away fixture 1-0.
Paris won the game with a penalty goal at the 60-minute mark from Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The striker has been PSG's primary scoring weapon over the past two and a half years, and was a big part of the reason they won the Ligue 1 title twice in a row. He also drove the Parisians to their 5-0 victory over Saint-Etienne, scoring three of the five goals. In short, he's an easy choice for team MVP.
Olympique Marseille
Ibrahimovic's success in the PSG away jersey 2014 2015 is also the reason that the Germain squad is now tied with Olympique Marseille on the Ligue 1 table. In addition to having the same number of points in the standings as the Olympians, the Parisians also have an identical goal difference rating.
Indeed, where Olympique has scored 42 goals and allowed 22, Paris Saint Germain has netted 39 and allowed 19. Both counts add up to a goal difference rating of +20. Ibrahimovic has led the way for PSG, scoring nine goals in league. That count would likely be quite a bit higher, but the Swedish attacker missed parts of the season as a result of two different injuries. Had he been in peak form, Germain would very likely be leading the 2014 2015 Ligue 1.
Now that PSG has caught up with Olympique Marseille, their next target will be Lyon-currently leading the division with 48 points.
