Franco-Ivorian Désiré Doué’s stunning finish against Lille crowned Ligue 1 Goal of the Month

Desire Doue

The 19-year-old Paris Saint-Germain forward, who continues to make waves with his performances, earned the accolade for his goal during PSG’s dominant 4-1 win over LOSC on Matchday 24.

Doué scored the fourth and final goal for the Parisian side in the 37th minute, sealing an emphatic performance that helped maintain their stronghold at the top of the table.

His finish beat stiff competition from a shortlist of equally impressive goals, including efforts by Djaoui Cissé of Rennes, Olympique Lyonnais winger Ernest Nuamah, Andrey Santos of Strasbourg, and Justin Bourgault from Brest.

But it was Doué’s clinical finish and composed execution that ultimately captured the public vote.

This latest recognition adds to what has been a remarkable campaign for the teenage sensation, who also found the net in PSG’s 2-1 Champions League quarter-final first leg victory over Aston Villa on Wednesday.

The young striker opened the scoring in that encounter, underlining his growing importance in Luis Enrique’s attacking setup.

Doué’s goal against Lille showcased not only his technical ability but also his intelligence in positioning and finishing under pressure. After a quick exchange on the edge of the box, he broke through the defence and delivered a precise shot that left the goalkeeper rooted to the spot.

It was a moment of pure instinct and quality — one that earned the admiration of fans and pundits alike.

The recognition of the goal comes amid Doué’s continued emergence as one of Ligue 1’s brightest young prospects.

At just 19, his blend of pace, flair, and confidence on the ball has made him a standout performer in a PSG side brimming with attacking talent.

His contribution has gone beyond goals, often involved in link-up play and pressing high up the pitch — traits that have seen him win the trust of the coaching staff.

Speaking after his goal in the Champions League earlier this week, Doué remained humble about his rise but expressed satisfaction with his form.

While no quotes were given about the Goal of the Month award, his performances speak volumes about a player who is making the most of every opportunity.

For PSG, Doué’s emergence has come at an opportune time as they look to challenge on multiple fronts.

With the Ligue 1 title race nearing its final stretch and European ambitions alive, his contributions could prove decisive in the coming weeks.

Doué now joins an elite list of players who have won Ligue 1’s Goal of the Month, and with his current form, few would bet against him claiming the honour again soon.
