‘Doué’ breaks record as youngest player to score and assist in UCL final

Browse By

Paris Saint-Germain forward Désirée Doué became the youngest player to both score. And assist in the Champions League as he thrashed Inter Milan 5-0 and was named man of the match.

Doué used 12 minutes to set up Achraf Hakimi’s opener before netting twice himself inside the hour.

Five players have previously scored and assisted in a Champions League final. With the most recent being Cristiano Ronaldo for Real Madrid in 2014. His

exploits at the Allianz Arena saw Doué join the list as the youngest on the list at 19 years and 362 days. Doué

is the only player to have been directly involved in three goals in a UCL final, although including the European Cup he is still one short of Madrid legend Ferenc Puskás, who netted four in 1960.

Doué’s second goal also made him the first teenager to score a brace in a final. The record for the youngest goal in a Champions League

final is still held by Patrick Kluivert at Ajax in 1995 (18 years and 327 days). In the

last final, PSG academy product Senni Mayulu netted the final goal against Inter Milan, moving him into second at the age of 19 years and 14 days.

“I have no words, it was just an incredible night,” Due said after receiving the Man of the Match award from UEFA.
