Much is said about Lamine Yamal, his young age, and how he continues to captivate the world with his football, but not far behind this prodigy is Desiré Doué, who has emerged as one of the most surprising revelations with Paris Saint-Germain and, for many, outshines the FC Barcelona star.

Who Is Better, Desiré Doué or Lamine Yamal?

The PSG footballer has become a vital component for Luis Enrique’s team during a season where they could secure the Ligue 1 title, the Coupe de France, and the Champions League.

Unlike Lamine Yamal, Doué will feature in the Champions League final, and at just 19 years old, he could become a champion—something the Barcelona player won’t achieve this season.

So far, Doué has tallied 13 goals and 13 assists for a PSG side that initially sought to fill the void left by Kylian Mbappé’s move to Real Madrid.

Meanwhile, Lamine Yamal boasts 17 goals and 25 assists this season. He has already won LaLiga, the Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup, cementing his position as a leading contender for the 2025 Ballon d’Or.

Opinions are split on whether Yamal deserves the award. Many fans overlook another breakout star, Desiré Doué, whose performances are turning heads. The French talent is excelling, and time will prove his remarkable form.

Neymar-Like Qualities

Right-footed but proficient with his weaker foot, Doué stands out for his technical brilliance and impressive physicality. His versatility allows him to provide solutions in nearly any attacking role. In one-on-one situations, with feints or diagonal runs, he consistently finds ways to outmaneuver defenders and create danger.

No matter his position on the pitch—whether as a winger on either flank, an attacking midfielder, or even an inside midfielder—Doué always makes an impact, disrupting opponents with his dynamic play.
