UEFA has officially named Paris Saint-Germain winger Ousmane Dembele as the Champions League Player of the Season following PSG's triumphant campaign that saw them lift their first-ever Champions League trophy.

The 28-year-old French international was instrumental throughout PSG's campaign, scoring six goals during the league phase and adding crucial strikes against Liverpool and Arsenal in the knockout rounds.

Despite not scoring in the final, Dembele delivered an impressive performance as PSG dominated Inter Milan in a stunning 5-0 victory to claim the prestigious European title.

Young Star Shines in Final

Dembele's teammate, Desire Doue, was awarded the Young Player of the Season accolade after a sensational display in the final where he scored twice and provided an assist against Inter Milan.

Doue made history by becoming the first teenager to score twice in a Champions League final. The young talent had already demonstrated his abilities by netting twice in earlier knockout stages of the competition.

Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger commented on PSG's dominant performance in the final, while football legend Jay-Jay Okocha revealed he had predicted a different scoreline for the match, expecting a closer 2-1 result instead of the eventual 5-0 thrashing.

PSG captain Marquinhos acknowledged former teammates who had not succeeded in winning the trophy with the club, while Barcelona legend Andres Iniesta praised PSG manager Luis Enrique for finally delivering the coveted Champions League trophy to the Parisian club.

The victory has also sparked discussions about potential Ballon d'Or contenders for 2025, with several PSG players now firmly in the conversation following their Champions League triumph.

However, celebrations in Paris were marred by clashes that led to hundreds of arrests following the historic victory, as fans took to the streets to mark the occasion.
