PSG Teenager Matches Ronaldo Record

PSG Teenager Matches Ronaldo Record

Paris Saint-Germain teenager Desire Doue matched an impressive Cristiano Ronaldo record after his Man-of-the-Match display in the UEFA Champions League final.

The French outfit secured their first-ever Champions League title after thrashing Inter Milan 5-0 in the final on Saturday night in Munich.

The 19-year-old stole the show by bagging two goals and an assist during his 67-minute cameo for the French giants.

In doing so, Doue became the first player since Ronaldo (2014) to be directly involved in two goals in a Champions League final.

That was not the only record to fall on the night, as Doue became the youngest player ever to both score and assist in a final, breaking the record held by Patrick Kluiver and Carlos Alberto.

Meanwhile, former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand says Doue and Lamine Yamal can be the successors to Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, who dominated football for over a decade.

"A really special mention for Doue, a 19-year-old kid playing on the biggest stage like it's a playground at the back of his house," Ferdinand said on TNT Sports.

"Have we seen now, we've had two players who dominated world football for many, many years of our generation in Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

"Lamine Yamal going into this was a superstar but didn't get to the final. Lit up the quarter-final and the semis.

"Doue's done it now in the final, have we seen a changing of the guard of the two players likely to be them players?
