Not as noticed as his seniors Dembele or Kvaratskhelia, but Desire Doue had a memorable 90 minutes on the big stage of Allianz Arena, with a double goal and an assist for Hakimi to open the score.
The Frenchman also became the first teenager in Champions League history to score two goals in the final, helping PSG crush Inter Milan 5-0.
In the situation of breaking the deadlock, Doue handled the ball with amazing calmness and precision in the penalty area, sending a "10-point" pass for Hakimi to tear Sommer's net.
In the 20th minute, he doubled the gap with a shot that hit Di Marco and changed direction. In the second half, Doue continued to get his name on the scoresheet with a close-range finish that defeated Sommer.
At the end of the match, Desire Doue deservedly received the title of Best Player of the Champions League Final, presented by former Real Madrid defender Marcelo.
UEFA's technical sub-committee commented on Doue's performance: "Two goals and an assist in a Champions League final at the age of 19 is incredible.
Doue played with great maturity, was generous in setting up Hakimi for a goal and also worked hard to press defensively from a distance."
Intelligent, fast and ready to show off his individual skills, Doue is a new discovery for coach Luis Enrique this season, after a 50 million Euro transfer from Rennes last summer.
In the 2024/25 Champions League alone, Desire Doue scored 5 goals and had 3 assists after 16 appearances.
