Paris Saint-Germain’s Désiré Doué won the Champions League Young Player of the Season award following his two-goal performance in the final against Inter, beating Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal to the coveted prize.

Doué, 19, became the first player in the competition’s history to record three goal involvements in a final. The fleet-footed Frenchman set up Achraf Hakimi’s first goal with a clever turn and pass before scoring the next two for PSG.
