He's the man of the match. The whole PSG was obviously giant during its Champions League final won over the historic 5-0 score against Inter Milan on Saturday evening in Munich. But Désiré Doué largely deserves her game player trophy. The attacking midfielder of only 19 years (he will celebrate his 20th birthday in three days) was a decisive passer on the opening of the score and then scored a double. Exceptional!
Found by Vitinha in the surface, Doué served Achraf Hakimi for the opening of the score against the Nerazzurri (12th). A few minutes later, it was the player trained at Stade Rennais who doubled the bet. On a center of Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué tried his luck and his recovery was diverted by Federico Dimarco, which deceived Yann Sommer (20th).
At the time of play, it was this same desired Goué who brought the scoring to 3-0. Launched by Vitinha, he adjusted the opposing Swiss porter to ever propel Paris Saint-Germain to his very first coronation in LDC (63rd).
Désiré Goué, a first for 61 years
Désiré Doué thus broke several records with this performance. At 19 and 362 days old, he is simply the youngest player in history to register a double in the Champions League final. A French international had already scored a double in the European final, Antoine Griezmann during the coronation of Atlético against OM in the 2018 Europa League. But Goué becomes the very first to do so in C1.
Finally, gifted between simply in the history of the round ball with its double and its assist during this incredible final against Inter. No player had managed to achieve such a performance since May 27, 1964. An Inter player, Sandro Mazzola, had struck so hard. It was more than six decades ago!
