Focus on UCL final before WC
Doue has been named in France's World Cup squad and will first compete in Saturday's Champions League final against Arsenal before turning his attention to the tournament this summer.
Analysis: Doue heads into the Champions League final aiming to recreate the magic of last season's showpiece, where he scored twice in the final against Inter Milan, with another big-time performance against Arsenal potentially boosting his case for a starting role at the World Cup. The young PSG attacker is locked in a tight battle with Bradley Barcola and Rayan Cherki for the fourth spot in manager Didier Deschamps' front line, making every minute in Budapest absolutely critical in his fight to lock down a starting role. Doue is stepping into what could be the most defining stretch of his young career, fully aware that one statement performance could be enough to cement himself as an undisputed starter for France at the World Cup this summer. Heading into the final, Doue has posted 12 goals, eight assists, 28 chances created and 34 crosses in 35 appearances (24 starts) for PSG, underlining the impact he has already delivered this season.
Provides one assist in win
Doue assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal) and one chance created in Wednesday's 2-0 win versus Lens.
Analysis: Doue was the most lively player in Wednesday's 2-0 win at Lens, combining with Lucas Beraldo on the left before setting up Ibrahim Mbaye with a precise pass that the Senegalese forward converted in stoppage time to seal the title, while adding one key pass, two tackles and three interceptions. Doue has now scored seven goals and provided four assists across 23 Ligue 1 appearances this season, confirming his steady rise in influence as the campaign has progressed.
