Désiré Doué to start second Champions League final before 21, joining select group | OneFootball

Désiré Doué will start his second Champions League final on Saturday, still shy of his 21st birthday.

According to L'Équipe, the PSG winger will line up in Budapest against Arsenal at 18:00. He received their maximum 10/10 rating in the 2025 final, when Inter Milan were beaten 5-0.

Only three players had previously started two finals before turning 21, António Simões with Benfica, Johan Neeskens with Ajax Amsterdam, and Trent Alexander-Arnold with Liverpool.

Doué turns 21 on Wednesday, 3 June.

The achievement places him in a notably select group in Champions League history.
