Paris Saint-Germain youngster Desire Doue made history in the Champions League final after scoring one goal and assisting another against Inter.

Doue made his first impact after just 12 minutes as he ghosted behind the Inter backline to receive the ball before squaring it to Achraf Hakimi for a simple opener in Munich.

That goal saw Hakimi become the first player to score against a former club in a Champions League final. He spent the 2020-21 season with the Italian side.

Doue then made history eight minutes later as his deflected strike finished off a clinical counter-attack.

In the process, Doue – at the age of 19 years and 362 days – became just the third teenager to score in a Champions League final, after Patrick Kluivert in 1995 (for Ajax v AC Milan) and Carlos Alberto in 2004 (for Porto v Monaco).

Doue is the sixth different player to both score and assist in a Champions League final, but he is the youngest to do so, while PSG are the first team to score two goals inside the opening 20 minutes of the competition’s showpiece match.
