Désiré Doué Makes Champions League History at Just 19
What an unforgettable night for Paris Saint-Germain and an even more monumental one for Désiré Doué. At only 19 years and 362 days old, the young French sensation didn't just play in the Champions League final—he redefined what it means to shine on the grandest stage of European football.
As PSG faced Inter Milan in the final on Saturday night, all eyes were on the tactical decisions of Luis Enrique. The spotlight intensified when Doué was chosen over Barcola to start in the right attacking position. It was a bold move—but one that paid off in spectacular fashion. Doué delivered not just one, but two goals, and capped his stellar performance with a crucial assist, directly contributing to three of PSG’s five goals in their emphatic 5-0 win.

That feat is not just impressive—it’s historic. Since the modern Champions League format began in 1993, no player has ever been directly involved in three goals in a final. Désiré Doué just became the first. It's the kind of record that places you instantly in elite company, and for someone still in their teens, it signals a stratospheric career ahead.
This wasn’t just a flash of brilliance; it was a complete performance. From his explosive runs to his clinical finishing and his intelligent positioning, Doué looked like a seasoned pro. Comparisons are already swirling, with fans and pundits linking his style and impact to players like Neymar. But Doué is carving out a name of his own, and last night, he carved it into the history books.
Luis Enrique's trust in the young former Rennes star was not misplaced. Starting him in the final over more experienced players was a gamble, but one that turned into a masterstroke. Doué's confidence, maturity, and sense of occasion were remarkable. He didn’t just participate—he owned the moment.
Even President Emmanuel Macron took a moment to send congratulations after the match, praising not only the team’s historic win but specifically recognizing Doué’s heroics. The Eiffel Tower was lit in celebration, and chants of “Champion of Europe” echoed across Paris.
From Rennes to the roof of Europe with PSG, Désiré Doué's rise has been meteoric. Now, the world is watching. With a Champions League medal already around his neck and records falling at his feet, one thing is clear—this is just the beginning.
