Doue lauds ‘really good human being’ Enrique after PSG win Champions League | OneFootball

PSG’s wonderkid Desire Doue hailed his manager Luis Enrique after scoring twice to help his side win the Champions League.

The French champions thrashed Inter Milan 5-0 in Munich to win the club’s first ever Champions League title.

PSG got off to the perfect start when Achraf Hakimi slotted in from close range on just 12 minutes.

Doue then grabbed his first and his side’s second with a deflected strike which beat Yann Sommer, before adding his second just after the hour mark to make it 3-0.

Khvicha Kvaratskheklia and youngster Senny Mayulu then added one each to round off a brutal beating for Inter.

Doue has enjoyed a fantastic debut season at the club after signing from Rennes last summer, scoring 15 times in all competitions.

And the 19-year-old credited his manager Enrique for helping him to settle so quickly.

“He’s been here two years and he’s made history for the club,” Doue told TNT Sports.

“Tactically, mentally, he’s a really good coach and not just as a coach, as a human being too.

“It’s a pleasure to work with him.

“It’s just incredible for me. I have no words.”

PSG have long been contenders in the Champions League knockout stages, and finished as runners up back in 2020 when they were beaten by Bayern Munich in the final.

Having seen superstars like Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe come and go without winning the competition, however, PSG midfielder Vitinha says it shows just how good this current team is.

“It means everything,” Vitinha said. “The fans are the main reason we wanted to win this trophy.

“But we wanted to win this trophy for a lot of reasons. It’s our dream, it’s everyone’s dream, it’s my dream and I’m glad we made it. It’s incredible.

“It says a lot about this group of players, this team. It’s a very good team and this result is not by magic. We are a very good team and we are very happy we did it like this and now we’re going to celebrate.”
