Desire Doue goal in Champions League final crowned Play of the Year

Desire Doue has been handed a fresh moment of glory after his stunning goal in the Champions League final was voted “Play of the Year” by fans across the world.

The 20-year-old midfielder lit up the stage in Paris Saint-Germain’s dominant 5-0 triumph over Inter Milan, giving supporters a memory they will cherish for years.

The strike was part of a flowing team move that embodied PSG’s attacking brilliance on the night. It started deep in their own half when captain Marquinhos coolly played out from the back. Vitinha then drove forward, linking neatly with Ousmane Dembele, whose clever return pass released Doue in stride.

Despite being off balance, the youngster showed remarkable composure. With a single deft touch, he sent the ball beyond Yann Sommer, finishing a move that commentators and fans alike hailed as a masterclass in precision and timing.

Supporters voted overwhelmingly for the goal, reflecting both the artistry of the finish and the collective joy of the team’s Champions League triumph
