The 2003-04 campaign delivered a glorious return to silverware for Paris Saint-Germain as Les Rouge et Bleu clinched the Coupe de France. Leading the charge was the prolific Portuguese striker Pauleta, whose 18 league goals (23 in all competitions) proved decisive in a campaign built on domestic resurgence and Vahid Halilhodžić's fiery leadership. It was a triumphant year that marked the club's first trophy in six seasons with Pauleta scoring the only goal in the Final against LB Châteauroux, securing their return to the Champions League and remaining a defining chapter in PSG's history.
