The 2013-14 campaign was a difficult one for Montpellier as the Pailladins finished a precarious 15th in Ligue 1, battling to secure their top-flight status just two seasons after winning the title. Leading the charge and providing the main source of inspiration was the breakout star, Rémy Cabella, whose crucial 14 goals anchored the attack and earned him the club's Player of the Season award. It was a nervy year that saw the team fight for survival, but Cabella's sensational performances remain a defining and memorable chapter for the club.
