Désiré Doué joins the global A-list to lead PSG’s coronation as kings of Europe

The third great Moment of Doué was beautiful for its simplicity, 63 minutes into this game and with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) 2-0 up. As Désiré Doué glided in on goal, all alone suddenly in a wide open patch of green, he was found by a deliciously weighted through pass from Vitinha.

From there Doué allowed the ball to run across him as the retreating Inter defenders closed at his back, a perfect little screenshot of time, space, angles, ground speed allowing him to open his right instep and shoot with the path of the pass, wrong-footing Yann Sommer and easing the ball into the far corner.
