The case centres on alleged breaches of contract and duty and the Frenchman is counter-suing for £2.1m in share options he claims he is owed after being sacked in April last year.
While cross-examining Fayed yesterday, Goulding said: "Can you explain how these documents, found in Tigana's office at Fulham after he was sacked, disclosed by you in these proceedings, found their way into the hands of the French newspapers?
"Was it an attempt by you to damage Tigana's chances of appointment to the French national job?
"Is it not an example of your vindictiveness to somebody who you felt had let you down?"
There is little doubt that Tigana's continuing High Court case with Fulham and the allegations that were bound to come with it stopped him taking charge of France.
He had been asked to apply for the job by Michel Platini and thought it was his after twice turning it down before, but former France Under-21s coach Raymond Domenech was appointed instead.
However, Fayed said in court he had no idea how Le Parisien came to see the documents and became angry at the line of questioning.
He replied to Goulding: "Why do I have to interfere with France? Santini or Mantini, what you are talking about?
"I have no knowledge at all of this. It is not right and it is not fair."
The exchange came at the end of a dramatic day in a packed Court 23 when Tigana and Fayed came face to face.
The chairman, opposite his former manager and just five yards away in the witness box, made a series of accusations as Goulding set out to show that he was an unreliable witness.
Fayed said he thought there were kickbacks in all of Tigana's transfer deals at Fulham and he would not let the Frenchman get away with it.
He also accused former directors Tim Delaney and Michael Fiddy of lying in their evidence and FIFA, the game's world governing body, of fixing their tribunal and appeals processes after losing seven of nine disputed cases.
But this case will turn on evidence relating to three transfer deals in 2001 and 2002: the £11.5m purchase of Steve Marlet from Lyon; the £7m paid to Juventus for Edwin van der Sar; and the aborted £7m move for Valencia's then striker John Carew.
