Man City star Jeremy Doku reacts to Desire Doue’s ‘indescribable’ PSG message
Manchester City winger Jeremy Doku has reacted to a message shared by Desire Doue after PSG’s Champions League final triumph over Inter.
Doue played a starring role as Luis Enrique’s men hammered the Serie A giants 5-0 in Munich on Saturday, 31 May.
The 19-year-old’s display will likely go down as one of the best in Champions League final history, as he scored two goals and made an assist.
Doue has notched a return of 13 goals and 13 assists across all competitions this term, helping PSG win a historic treble in his first season in Paris.

The former Rennes man will be remembered as a PSG legend after spearheading the French Ligue 1 champions to their first-ever Champions League trophy.
Doue shared his delight at his side’s European glory via Instagram [1 June] as he wrote: “In the legend!
An indescribable joy to win the first Champions League with this exceptional club. We made history! Thank you all for your support this season.”
Man City ace Doku liked the post alongside the likes of Sunderland star Jobe Bellingham, who has verbally agreed terms with Borussia Dortmund as exclusively revealed by Football Insider.
Newcastle United could step up their interest in Jack Grealish
While Doku has shown his appreciation for Doue’s exploits via social media, fellow Man City wideman Jack Grealish could be set to join Newcastle United.

The England international has fallen out of favour at the Etihad Stadium and was handed just seven Premier League starts by Pep Guardiola this season.
His lowly position in Guardiola’s pecking order was epitomised when he watched on as an unused substitute when Man City were beaten 1-0 by Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final on 17 May.
Meanwhile, former Manchester United and Blackburn Rovers chief scout Mick Brown exclusively told Football Insider that Newcastle will sign Grealish if they sell Anthony Gordon to Liverpool.
The Merseyside club’s efforts to sign Gordon could hinge on whether Luis Diaz signs for Al Nassr amid serious interest from the Saudi Pro League outfit.
Grealish could prove to be a top acquisition for Newcastle, as Eddie Howe pushes to ready his side for the challenges posed by Champions League football.
