Raphaël Guerreiro – FC Lorient (02/22/2014)

This remarkable collector's item is a testament to the emergence at the highest level of a future European champion. This match-worn jersey was sported by the talented and technical international left-back Raphaël Guerreiro while playing for FC Lorient during their away match against Olympique de Marseille.

Match Context: The late Marseille dagger

For this 26th-round Ligue 1 clash (2013-2014 season), Christian Gourcuff's men traveled to the Stade Vélodrome. The Bretons relied on a rigorous collective organization and a polished transitional play that perfectly neutralized the offensive waves of José Anigo's Olympiens for most of the match. While the Lorient defense seemed headed for a deserved clean sheet after a tough tactical battle, the light came from the inevitable André-Pierre Gignac. In the 82nd minute, the Marseille striker delivered for his team, finding the net to score the only goal of the game, sealing the cruel defeat for Les Merlus (1-0).

Raphaël Guerreiro: Elegance and technical precision on the left flank

A modern, ultra-technical defender with excellent crossing ability and remarkable vision, Raphaël Guerreiro was having a very promising first season in Brittany, already establishing himself as one of the finest and most sought-after left wing-backs in the French championship. Starting on his left flank for this demanding confrontation in Provence, the number 14 delivered a top-class performance, combining defensive rigor against the Olympique attackers with incisive runs to create danger. His official jersey features the player's complete flocking as well as all the professional patches of the era. A superb Ligue 1 collectible.
