On Tuesday at the Parc des Princes, Paris Saint-Germain secured a 4-2 victory over FC Barcelona in the third round of the 2026-2027 Champions League. Following the match, UEFA named the player of the game.
Désiré Doué (a 21-year-old midfielder/forward) was a worthy winner, delivering a complete performance—including a goal and an assist—on a memorable night. There were other strong contenders, such as Lucas Hernandez (30-year-old defender) and Vitinha (26-year-old midfielder), but a choice had to be made for the award. It’s a good problem to have when the decision is difficult.
