Désiré Doué won the Golden Boy 2025 award, given to the best U21 player in Europe.

Désiré Doué has been named the winner of the Golden Boy trophy, and the official ceremony took place on the same night, marking an exceptional year for the young 20-year-old player. In his speech, Doué emphasized the honor of being in the company of legendary players such as Messi, Agüero, Haaland, and Mbappé, who have also won this trophy. In 2024, Lamine Yamal received this distinction.

He reminisced about the 2025 Champions League final, in which PSG defeated Inter Milan 5-0, mentioning that his second goal was a decisive moment. Transferred to PSG in August 2024, Doué acknowledged that his success has exceeded expectations. Currently, he is recovering from a grade 3 muscle injury, but the medical staff estimates that he will return to the field before the end of the year.
