The Paris Saint-Germain forward claims the award after a dazzling knockout phase which included two goals in the final.
The UEFA Technical Observer Group has named Paris Saint-Germain's Désiré Doué as the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League Young Player of the Season.
"Doué has been a revelation this season," said the UEFA Technical Observer Group. "He made an incredible breakthrough in the knockout phase, going to the final and producing a Player of the Match performance on Saturday night, becoming the first teenager to score twice in a final. It's great to have role models who can encourage other young players to shine in the future."
The 19-year-old struck at Salzburg in the league phase and in front of his home fans against Brest and Aston Villa in the knockout phase, but it was his history-making display in the final that truly captured everyone's attention.
"I can't believe what happened: we made history for the club in French football, in European football," he said. "It was a great season. We're a great team collectively, and we showed it. I still have to realise that we won the Champions League and rewrote the history of this club. It's just magnificent."

Well deserved. Dembele and Doue had been settle. Know this and know peace because Barron D Or is going the other way. Either Raphinha or Lamine yamal will win it.

Yamal, learn from this 19 year old goat before you brag. No one even heard about this dude because he doesn't make noise. Empty barrel Yamal made the loudest noise.
