PSG – Doué looks back with emotion on his Golden Boy season

Author of an XXL season crowned with trophies, Désiré Doué, a midfielder/forward for Paris Saint-Germain aged 20, has been awarded the prestigious Golden Boy. In comments relayed by Tuttosport, the French international expressed his joy and pride following the receipt of this individual accolade.

Doué: "It was an excellent season, the result of tremendous team effort"

"I am very happy to receive this award. I believe I have progressed a lot this year. Playing in the Champions League, at the highest level, and hearing that anthem gives you goosebumps, it's an intense experience. It was an excellent season, the result of tremendous team effort. We won all the competitions except the Club World Cup. It is the reward for the titles won with the team and my positive contribution during important matches. This year, PSG achieved its greatest feats, marking the best season in its history. When I signed my five-year contract with Paris Saint-Germain, I knew I was going to play for a great club, one of the best in the world. But I never imagined winning everything in a single year."

Doué: "I believe my best memory remains my second goal"

"The 5-0 victory in the Champions League final against Inter was one of the best days of my life; a dream come true. When you're a child, you dream of playing in the Champions League and winning it. It's incredible. I believe my best memory remains my second goal, the third of the match. That's when I knew we were going to win."

This is probably the breakthrough year for Désiré Doué who, beyond winning several major titles with a team, also managed to stand out by being decisive. Achieving the performance he did in the Champions League final is phenomenal for a young 19-year-old player.
