PSG are facing Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League final, with Luis Enrique's side on the verge of their first-ever triumph in the competition.

In the opening half, the Parisians looked far sharper than their opponents, finding the back of Yann Sommer’s net twice within the first 20 minutes. Directly involved in both goals was the French club’s winger, Désiré Doué, enjoying a sensational debut season with the team.

First, he set up Achraf Hakimi with a pinpoint assist; just minutes later, Doué’s own effort—helped by a deflection—found the net. That made Doué the youngest player since Brian Kidd to both score and assist in a Champions League final. The Frenchman is the first footballer since 1968 to achieve this feat before turning 20.

In the second half, Doué scored again and set a unique record. Previously, only Sandro Mazzola had registered a brace and an assist in a Champions League final, back in 1964 — but Désiré achieved the same feat at an even younger age.
