Doue beat Barcelona's Lamine Yamal to win the 2024/25 Champions League Young Player of the Season award. In the final against Inter Milan on June 1, Doue assisted Achraf Hakimi's opening goal and scored two goals to seal a 5-0 win for PSG.
At 19 years and 362 days, Doue became the youngest player to score a brace in a Champions League final, surpassing the legendary Eusebio. In 16 appearances in this tournament last season, Doue scored 5 goals and contributed 3 assists. With impressive form throughout the season, this young midfielder has proven his talent and position in world football.
The rivalry between Yamal and Doue, players aged just 17 and 19 respectively, promises to bring drama to European football in the future. Yamal and Doue represent two different but equally attractive football philosophies. Yamal is the artist - he plays with intelligence, calculation and absolute control. Doué is the warrior - he plays with emotion, with impulsiveness and the ability to explode unexpectedly.
In addition to Doue, PSG also had six other players named in the Team of the Season, including Ousmane Dembele, Vitinha, Nuno Mendes, Marquinhos, Achraf Hakimi and Gianluigi Donnarumma. This shows the strength and depth of the Parisian team.
Meanwhile, runner-up Inter Milan only had one player named in the Team of the Year, centre-back Alessandro Bastoni. Barcelona had two representatives, Yamal and Raphinha.
