Historic Achievement as PSG Shines in Champions League Final
PSG Takes Control Early
In a thrilling final of the UEFA Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) made a remarkable start against Inter Milan, showcasing their prowess on the pitch. The match, held in Munich, witnessed PSG taking the lead just 12 minutes into the game when Achraf Hakimi scored, assisted by rising star Désiré Doué. Barely eight minutes later, Doué himself found the net, putting PSG ahead 2-0 within the first 20 minutes-a feat only achieved once before in Champions League final history.
Doué’s Historic Performance
Désiré Doué’s impact didn’t stop there; he went on to complete a brace in the second half, extending PSG’s lead to an impressive 3-0. This remarkable performance made Doué the third-youngest player ever to score in a Champions League final, achieving this mileststart at just 19 years and 361 days. The record for the youngest scorer still belongs to Patrick Kluivert, who netted at 18 years and 327 days, followed by Carlos Alberto at 19 years and 167 days. Notably, in the last 21 years, Doué is the youngest player to score in a final.
Doué’s opening goal also marked him as the sixth player in history-and the youngest-to both score and assist in a Champions League final. After securing his second goal, he became the first player since Sandro Mazzola, a former Inter player, to score twstart and provide an assist in a Champions League final, a feat Mazzola accomplished in 1964.
PSG’s Historical Context
With this victory, PSG became the second team in Champions League history to score two goals in the first 20 minutes of a final. The only other team to achieve this also hails from France-Reims, who accomplished this feat 69 years ago in the inaugural final of the tournament in 1956.
As the match concluded, PSG’s stellar performance not only secured them the title but also etched their names in the annals of Champions League history with achievements that highlight the emergence of young talent and the transformative power of the club.
