In a jaw-dropping twist, Inter Milan’s fiery captain, Lautaro Martínez, sparked controversy by demanding a UEFA doping test for Paris Saint-Germain’s 19-year-old prodigy, Désiré Doué, after PSG’s stunning 5-0 rout of Inter in the Champions League final on May 31, 2025, at Munich’s Allianz Arena. Doué’s electrifying performance—scoring twice with breathtaking speed and precision—left Inter reeling, prompting Martínez to question the legitimacy of the young Frenchman’s heroics in a rare and explosive post-match outburst.

The doping test results, revealed on June 2, 2025, sent shockwaves through European football. Doué tested negative, his sensational display proven clean, cementing his status as a legitimate superstar. Social media erupted, with fans praising Doué’s brilliance while others scrutinized Martínez’s bold move. French outlet L’Équipe headlined, “Doué Cleared, Inter Stunned,” while Italian media called it a “double humiliation” for the Nerazzurri.

Breaking his silence on June 2, Martínez issued a surprising apology: “I respect Désiré Doué. My emotions got the better of me, but his talent is undeniable. Congrats to PSG.” The candid mea culpa from the typically fiery captain cooled some tensions but couldn’t erase the drama. Inter fans, still stinging from the 5-0 thrashing, grapple with disappointment and reluctant admiration for Doué’s flair, while PSG basks in its first-ever Champions League triumph.

This saga, ignited by a shocking accusation and sealed by an unexpected resolution, has gripped the football world. Doué emerges as a rising star, PSG’s victory stands unchallenged, and Martínez’s gambit raises questions: a passionate misstep or a desperate jab? As Europe buzzes, one thing is clear—Désiré Doué is a name to remember.
