One year after leaving Rennes, Desire Doue was the teenager tearing apart Inter Milan in a Champions League final. The Desire Doue stats<\/strong> tell the story of football’s fastest-rising forward: 29 goals for Paris Saint-Germain, a two-goal show on Europe’s biggest night, and a place in France’s squad at the World Cup 2026. Here are the numbers behind the 21-year-old. For the bigger picture, see our World Cup 2026<\/a> hub.<\/p>\n\n

Desire Doue stats: the rise from Rennes to PSG match-winner<\/h2>\n

A Rennes academy product who became a PSG match-winner within a year of his move, Doue’s rise has been rapid. His record reads:<\/p>\n

Team<\/th>Apps<\/th>Goals<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Paris Saint-Germain<\/strong><\/td>102<\/td>29<\/td><\/tr>

The two-footed problem defenders cannot solve<\/h2>\n

Doue has 29 goals in 102 appearances for PSG since joining from Rennes in 2024, a remarkable return for a player still only 21. A two-footed, press-resistant dribbler who can play off either flank or through the middle, he combines end product with the kind of close control that makes him almost impossible to dispossess in tight areas.<\/p>\n\n

The night 19-year-old Doue conquered Europe<\/h2>\n

Doue’s defining moment came in the 2025 Champions League final, PSG’s first European Cup triumph. He scored twice and set up another in a stunning 5-0 win over Inter Milan, and was named man of the match at just 19, the first teenager to score a brace in the final. It capped a debut PSG season that also brought the Ligue 1 title and the Coupe de France.<\/p>\n\n

A treble winner before his 22nd birthday<\/h2>\n

With back-to-back Ligue 1 titles and a Champions League already to his name before turning 22, Doue is among the most coveted young players on the planet. His brother Guela is also a professional, but it is Desire who has become a France regular and a star of Europe’s biggest stage.<\/p>\n\n

Desire Doue at the World Cup 2026<\/h2>\n
