The 2002-03 campaign delivered a season of frustrating inconsistency for Paris Saint-Germain as they finished a disappointing 11th in Ligue 1, despite reaching the Coupe de France Final. The season was defined by the dazzling, though sometimes turbulent, presence of the Brazilian genius Ronaldinho, who was the club's joint-top league scorer with 8 goals, alongside Aloísio. His period under manager Luis Fernández was marked by explosive talent, including his iconic solo goal against Guingamp, which remains a nostalgic high point of his brief spell at the Parc des Princes.
