PSG youngster Doue makes Champions League final history
Desire Doue broke records as he played a key role in Paris Saint-Germain thrashing Inter in the Champions League final.
Paris Saint-Germain youngster Desire Doue made history in the Champions League final, scoring two goals and assisting another to become the first player to record three goal involvements in the biggest game in European club football.
Doue made his first impact after just 12 minutes as he ghosted behind the Inter backline to receive the ball before squaring it to Achraf Hakimi for a simple opener in Munich.
That goal saw Hakimi become the first player to score against a former club in a Champions League final. He spent the 2020-21 season with the Italian side.
Doue then made history eight minutes later as his deflected strike finished off a clinical counter-attack.
In the process, Doue - at the age of 19 years and 362 days - became just the third teenager to score in a Champions League final, after Patrick Kluivert in 1995 (for Ajax v AC Milan) and Carlos Alberto in 2004 (for Porto v Monaco).
Doue is the sixth different player to both score and assist in a Champions League final, but he is the youngest to do so, while PSG became the first team to score two goals inside the opening 20 minutes of the competition's showpiece match.
Doue continued to star in the second half, latching onto Vitinha's pass to finish into the bottom-right corner and become the first player to score multiple goals in a single Champions League final since Gareth Bale's brace for Real Madrid against Liverpool in 2018.
And after Khvicha Kvaratskhelia added PSG's fourth goal, another teenager joined Doue on the scoresheet, with substitute Senny Mayulu firing in off the near post to make it 5-0.
At the age of 19 years and 14 days, Mayulu became the third-youngest player to score in a European Cup/Champions League final, after Kluivert for Ajax against Milan in 1995 (18 years, 327 days) and Brian Kidd for Manchester United against Benfica in 1968 (19 years).
