KLIK SAJA - In Sunday’s final at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Paris Saint-Germain finally achieved their long-awaited dream of winning the UEFA Champions League by crushing a lackluster Inter Milan with an emphatic 5–0 victory.
The spotlight of the night wasn't on Spain’s Lamine Yamal, but rather on a young rising star—Désiré Doué.
The teenager delivered a historic performance, scoring two goals and providing an assist in the final.
In doing so, Doué became the first player to directly contribute to three goals in a single Champions League final.
The 19-year-old, a product of the Rennes academy, provided a simple assist for Hakimi and followed it up with two clinical finishes to finally end PSG’s long wait for European glory—perfectly embodying the definition of "flawless."
