Désiré Doué Steals the Show: PSG Teen Crowned UCL’s Best Young Talent

Paris Saint Germain’s rising star Desire Doue's been crowned the Champions league Best Young Player for the 2024 - 25 season after playing decisive role in PSG's stunning 5 - 0 triumph over Inter Milan in the final.

Record Breaking Final Performance

At just 19 Doue made history by scoring twice in the UCL final and providing the assist for Achraf Hakimi’s opening goal.

His dominant display earned him the Man of the Match award and helped secure PSG’s first ever Champions league title.

Doue also became the youngest player to score brace in Champions league final, surpassing several legendary names.

He beat Barcelona sensation Lamine Yamal to the season’s top young player award after Yamal’s side exited in the semifinals.

UCL Stats and Impact

Over the campaign, Doue delivered 5 goal & 5 assist in 16 match, covering 91.2 kilometers and hitting top speed of 33.83 km/h in 742 minute of action.

He now joins an elite list of past winners including Vinicius Junior, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Jude Bellingham who claimed the award in the last 3 editions.

Doue told UEFA:

"I can't believe what just happened. We made history for French football. What season incredible teamwork. I need time to realize we’ve actually won the Champions league".
