Paris Saint-Germain Clinch Champions League Title with Dembele and Doue Stealing the Spotlight
Paris Saint-Germain made history with a dominant 5-0 win over Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League final, a match defined by stellar performances from Ousmane Dembele and teenage sensation Desire Doue, both of whom were honored with top individual accolades.
Dembele, 28, was crowned the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League Player of the Season. The French winger played a crucial role in PSG’s victorious campaign, tallying seven goals and an assist in ten appearances. His influence on the pitch was key to PSG lifting their first-ever Champions League trophy.
Meanwhile, 19-year-old Desire Doue was named the competition’s Young Player of the Season. He shone brightly in the final, netting twice and assisting once, making him the youngest player ever to achieve such a performance in a Champions League final. Doue also made headlines earlier in the tournament with a clutch penalty against Liverpool in the Round of 16, solidifying his status as one of Europe’s brightest young talents.
While Barcelona had strong contenders for individual honors—particularly Raphinha, who delivered 13 goals and 9 assists, and rising star Lamine Yamal—the awards ultimately went to Dembele and Doue, underlining PSG’s superiority in this season’s competition.
