The 2005-06 campaign delivered glorious cup silverware for Paris Saint-Germain as the capital club triumphed in the Coupe de France. Leading the charge was their legendary captain Pauleta, whose 21 league goals secured him the Golden Boot, while his leadership proved vital in a season of transition under Guy Lacombe. The year was defined by a historic 2-1 victory over rivals Marseille in the final at the Stade de France, a result that brought the trophy to Paris and offered a triumphant silver lining to their ninth-place Ligue 1 finish. It was a season of intense rivalry and clinical finishing that remains a celebrated chapter for Les Parisiens.
