The 2011-12 campaign delivered dramatic cup success for Olympique Lyonnais as Les Gones secured the Coupe de France, defeating US Quevilly in the Final. Leading the charge was the prolific Lisandro López, whose 16 goals in Ligue 1 proved decisive in a campaign built on experience and the emergence of new talent. It was a triumphant year that marked the end of a brief trophy drought and remains a defining chapter in Lyon's modern history.
