Original Nike football shirt AS Monaco 2014/15

Monaco started the season with –2 points following crowd troubles at the end of the 2012–13 season.

Billionaire owner Dmitry Rybolovlev backed an incredible spending spree that saw the club spend close to €150 million in the summer transfer window, including around €50 million on Radamel Falcao. The spending spree meant that expectations were high for the club despite participating in Ligue 2 the season prior. The Monegasque had a great season in Ligue 1, finishing in second place behind Paris Saint-Germain. The second place meant the side qualified for the 2014–15 UEFA Champions League group stage after an extended absence from the competition.
