A rising star of Paris Saint-Germain, Désiré Doué seduces the legends of football. Ruud Gullit, Ballon d’Or 1987 and 1988 European champion with the Netherlands, sees him as a future winner of the most prestigious individual trophy in the world of football. Since its transfer to Paris Saint-Germain last summer from Stade Rennais, the French offensive environment has quickly established itself as a key element of the team, chaining high-level performances. Enough to attract the attention of Ruud Gullit, who said at an event: “I like Doué, PSG. He’s a great player and he’s young. He could have the Golden Ball.” At just 19 years old, the French neo-international is one of the favourites announced to win the Golden Boy, a prize awarded to the best player under the age of 21 in Europe.

As the semifinal of the Champions League between Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain approaches, Mikel Arteta announced that he would not want to turn his team before this game. Arsenal’s last game before this match will take place next Wednesday against Crystal Palace. Taking second place in the Premier League with five miles ahead of Manchester City, Mikel Arteta players don’t really need to win to qualify in the finals. However, unlike his counterpart Luis Enrique, Arteta doesn’t seem to want to spin his team and prefers to keep his players pace. “When players are fit and want to play, they have to play. They are at their best level when they play and are consistent in their performances,” said the Spanish tactician at a press conference. He also gave some reassuring news about Bukayo Saka, the Gunners star who was released on injury this Sunday against Ipswich Town: “We have to wait to see how he reacts after the workout, but there is nothing serious. If we want to use it, it will have a good chance of playing.” A statement that does not reassure Parisians, but does the happiness of lovers of beautiful football.
