Ligue 1 Preview - Bordeaux, Marseille and Lyon’s Summer of Love

What a difference a year makes. Against odds, FC Bordeaux dethroned Ligue 1's 7 time consecutive champions Lyon to lift the Ligue 1 trophy. With 12 wins on the trot at the tail end of the season, FC Bordeaux secured a top dog status with its first league title in a decade. Along with the Coupe De La Ligue crown to secure a league and cup double, les Girodins wagged its tail at fellow title hopefuls Marseille and Lyon - leaving the former chasing tails and the latter stuck with its tail between its legs.
