The shirt from Olympique de Marseille's first double

Olympique Marseille's "BUT" jersey became legendary thanks to the first double victory in the Cup and Championship achieved during the 1971/1972 season by Josip Skoblar and his teammates.

A historic season:

Crowned French champions in 1971, Olympique de Marseille and its president Marcel Leclerc hammered home their success by poaching Georges Carnus and Bernard Bosquier from their rivals Saint-Étienne. They joined a squad already boasting a legendary attack with Josip Skoblar, Roger Magnusson and Didier Couécou. Olympique de Marseille dominated the championship from start to finish, despite the frustration of losing both matches against A.S. Saint Étienne. But OM was still OM, and the seven-point lead at the top of the championship at the end of March did not prevent the irascible Marcel Leclerc from sacking his coach Lucien Leduc and replacing him with the eternal Mario Zatelli.

Despite this hiccup, Olympique de Marseille achieved the dream double by beating Sporting Bastia 2-1 in the French Cup final. And this was to mark the inauguration of the new Parc des Princes.

So, for posterity, let us remember that the Parc des Princes in its current configuration was inaugurated by a French Cup victory for Olympique de Marseille.

Ajax Amsterdam on the European menu

Full of hope for this European Cup, Olympique de Marseille unfortunately had the misfortune of facing Ajax Amsterdam in the quarter-finals, who dominated Europe that year with Johan Cruyff playing brilliantly. So there was no miracle for the men in white, who lost 2-1 and 4-1.

The 1971/1972 season was a triumphant one for Olympique de Marseille, who achieved the first double in their history. Josip Skoblar finished as the league's top scorer with 30 goals and a certain Roland Courbis played his first matches with OM, without imagining that he would never again have the opportunity to defend the colours of his beloved club on the pitch.
