Désiré Doué has officially been named the Man of the Match for the 2025 UEFA Champions League final, after a stunning performance in Paris Saint-Germain’s historic 5-0 victory over Inter Milan at the Allianz Arena in Munich.
The 19-year-old midfielder was awarded the PlayStation® Player of the Match trophy by UEFA’s Technical Observers, following a night to remember. Doué became the first player under 20 to score twice in a Champions League final, netting PSG’s second and third goals and also providing an assist for Achraf Hakimi’s opener.

Doué himself was speechless after the final whistle:
“I have no words. It was just incredible for me, just incredible.”
His performance helped PSG lift their first-ever Champions League trophy, marking a new era for the club and for French football. With his composure, intelligence, and impact, Doué has firmly established himself as one of Europe’s brightest young talents.
