Olympique de Marseille enjoyed a successful 2021/22 campaign under Jorge Sampaoli, finishing second in Ligue 1 and reaching the semi-finals of the UEFA Europa Conference League.
Having finished fifth the previous season, Marseille entered the campaign looking to return to the UEFA Champions League and establish themselves among the leading sides in French football.
The squad featured established players including Dimitri Payet, Arkadiusz Milik, Valentin Rongier, Boubacar Kamara and goalkeeper Pau López, alongside arrivals Mattéo Guendouzi, William Saliba, Cengiz Ünder and Gerson.
Sampaoli's side produced a consistent league campaign, recording 21 victories across 38 matches and finishing second with 71 points, 15 behind champions Paris Saint-Germain. The result secured automatic qualification for the following season's Champions League group stage.
Payet remained an influential attacking figure, contributing goals and assists throughout the campaign, while Milik finished as Marseille's leading scorer across all competitions with 20 goals.
Marseille began their European campaign in the UEFA Europa League, competing in a group containing Galatasaray, Lazio and Lokomotiv Moscow. The French side finished third in their group, progressing into the knockout stages of the inaugural Europa Conference League.
Marseille subsequently overcame Qarabağ, Basel and PAOK to reach the semi-finals, setting up a meeting with Dutch side Feyenoord. A 3–2 defeat in Rotterdam was followed by a goalless draw at the Stade Vélodrome, with Feyenoord progressing to the final.
In the Coupe de France, Marseille reached the quarter-finals before being eliminated by Nice following a 4–1 defeat. Despite missing out on silverware, the campaign represented an important step forward under Sampaoli, combining a return to Champions League qualification with an extended European run.
Produced by PUMA, the Marseille 2021/22 third shirt featured a distinctive electric-blue colourway with contrasting light-blue detailing and a bold horizontal chest graphic. Released as part of PUMA's experimental third-kit collection, the design replaced the traditional positioning of the club crest with oversized 'OM' lettering across the front, alongside PUMA branding and the Uber Eats sponsor.
Associated with players including Payet, Milik, Guendouzi and Ünder during Marseille's return to Champions League qualification and Conference League semi-final appearance, the shirt represents a memorable campaign under Sampaoli. Its unconventional branding and striking blue colour combination make it a distinctive example of Marseille's modern PUMA shirts.

Condition
Each item is individually inspected and graded by our team to ensure an accurate representation of its condition.
Every item at The Soccer Archive is individually assessed and graded on our condition scale out of 10. This rating takes into account the overall quality of the fabric, print, badges and any natural signs of wear that come with age.
Most pieces we sell are vintage or pre-owned, meaning small signs of age can be part of their character.
Our condition guide
10/10 - Brand New with Tags
Outstanding condition with no noticeable flaws. Tags may or may not be present, but the item shows little to no sign of wear.
9/10 - Mint
Very strong vintage condition. May show the lightest signs of storage or previous wear, but nothing that distracts from the item overall.
8/10 - Excellent
A well-kept piece with minor signs of age or use. This could include light bobbling, slight fading or very small marks, but it still presents really well.

Noticeable wear consistent with age. This may include moderate fading, small pulls, bobbling, minor cracking to print or a small mark.
6/10 and below - Good with Noticeable Signs of Wear
More obvious signs of wear or ageing. This might include heavier fading, marks, pulls, print wear or repairs.
Any notable flaws will always be highlighted in the product description and imagery.
