 In the final game of the season, Eto'o drove home a superb first-half effort to edge onto 26 goals for the campaign, one more than Valencia's David Villa.
The team Frank Rijkaard sent out at San Mames was a mere hint of the one which claimed the European Cup on Wednesday, with Ronaldinho and Deco two notable absentees.
Paris match-winner Juliano Belletti was present and Eto'o was given the chance to make up for the disappointment of losing out to Villarreal's Diego Forlan at the death last season.
And the Cameroon striker did not have to wait too long to earn himself the crown of El Pichichi - latching onto the young Ludovic's pass after 35 minutes to crash a sweet shot past Inaki Lafuente and write himself into the history books.
Eto'o could have had a second late in the game, brushing off a challenge only to shoot straight at Lafuente, but may still find himself awarded a further disputed goal to reach 27 anyway.
But the newly-crowned European champions had few bright moments in a game that smacked of exactly what it was - a meaningless contest, other than the Eto'o footnote.
