Olympique de Marseille had a solid season, but did not manage to win the elusive trophy they had chased for 14 years, with the biggest disappointment being losing on penalty shootout against Sochaux in the Coupe de France final. The 2nd place finish of Ligue 1 was the best for eight years, but the side were never in title contention, being 18 points adrift of Lyon.
