Fans online have found the meaning of Desire Doue’s name in English – and he is certainly playing like his namesake.
The 19-year-old wonderkid scored a brace and provided an assist during PSG’s 5-0 obliteration of Inter Milan in the Champions League final, which sealed the Ligue 1 club their first ever treble.
‘Desire’ in French translates to ‘desired’ in English, while ‘Doue’ means ‘gifted’. After Saturday, there is no doubt almost every team in Europe would want the right winger in their ranks.
And ‘gifted’? Well, Doue’s performance on the night did the talking for him.
At 19 years and 362 days old, he became the third-youngest player to score in a Champions League final, and only the third ever teenager to do so.
Doue is also the youngest ever player to score and assist in a Champions League final.
