Lyon collected its first trophy in four years when it beat a spirited Quevilly 1-0 to win the French Cup for a fifth time on Saturday.
Striker Lisandro Lopez scored the winning goal.
Despite an annual budget of €1.9 million ($2.5 million) compared to Lyon's €150 million, it was far from a mismatch as Quevilly harried Lyon all over the field, even though the semiprofessional had few chances.
Quevilly plays two divisions below Lyon in the National League.
