Eric Cubilier – AS Monaco (2001-2002)

Here is a collector's item from a historic season for French football. This match-worn jersey was used by defender Eric Cubilier during a match against Olympique Lyonnais in the 2001-2002 season.

Season Context: The Rock vs. the Future Champion

The 2001-2002 season saw AS Monaco play in a championship of rare intensity, which would conclude with OL's memorable triumph on the final day. This jersey went through clashes against the Lyon armada, illustrating Monaco's resilience during a period of transition where the princely club relied on a solid defense to counter the attacks of title contenders. It symbolizes the demands of Division 1 in the early 2000s, where every trip between Lyon and Monaco was a marquee match-up.

Eric Cubilier: Solidity on the Right Flank

A pure product of the Monaco academy, Eric Cubilier established himself as a safe bet in the red and white defense thanks to his defensive rigor and excellent reading of the game. A reliable and diligent right-back, he was able to neutralize the fastest attackers in the league with his sense of positioning. This jersey is a testament to his rise on the Rock, before he ironically joined OL a few years later. It embodies the seriousness of a duty-bound defender, trained in the school of Monaco excellence.

This piece features the legendary red and white diagonal, a timeless design worn here by one of the club's homegrown players during a clash against rival Lyon. An authentic jersey for any AS Monaco collector or enthusiast of our championship's history.
