On Wednesday at the Parc des Princes, Paris Saint-Germain drew 2-2 against AS Monaco in the second leg of their 2025-2026 Champions League playoff (video highlights PSG/Monaco) and qualified for the Round of 16 (5-4 on aggregate). Following this match, UEFA named the best player of the game.
Désiré Doué, the 20-year-old midfielder/forward, seems like a logical choice, as he was decisive for this PSG side lacking ideas and precision. He fought hard to create chances, even though it was very difficult at times. In any case, it’s hard to single out another Parisian player for this match. Perhaps a Monaco player could have received this honorary award.
