PSG's Champions League hero Doue says 'dream becomes reality'
The 19-year-old lit up Munich's Allianz Arena, scoring twice and providing an assist as PSG routed Inter Milan 5-0. "I don't have the words," said the French teenager. "Thanks to the Parc (des Princes, PSG's home stadium), thanks Paris. "A dream has become reality. It's just magnificent. It's crazy, I'm so happy. "It's just the beginning." PSG have been guided to the continental crown for the first time in their history by Spanish coach Luis Enrique. "It's time to have a big party," said Luis Enrique, who also won the Champions League with Barcelona 10 years ago. "We have to make the most of this moment," added the 55-year-old. "I feel this connection with the players and the supporters, it's very strong. It's a great moment, we deserve it. We managed to control the tension." © 2025 AFP

Djokovic and Sinner flex muscles to reach French Open last 16 as Keys survives
Djokovic eased past Austrian qualifier Filip Misolic 6-3, 6-4, 6-2 on Court Philippe Chatrier to keep his quest for a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam title on track. The three-time French Open winner took just over two hours to beat 153rd-ranked Misolic and will next play Britain's 81st-ranked Cameron Norrie for a place in the quarter-finals. Djokovic played in the night session on centre court with the match overlapping with the UEFA Champions League final between Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan. "I don't know if it was good for me to get this scheduled slot, because it was interesting, the crowd was really following the (football) game," he said. "And I could hear once they (PSG) scored, and it was way too many times that they were celebrating. I was like, 'Wow, there's a lot of goals from Paris' and 'What's going on?'. So now I heard it's 5-0, so it's quite a result, to be honest." The 38-year-old faced only one break point, which he saved, while hitting just 14 unforced errors to 33 winners. Earlier, world number one Sinner eased through 6-0, 6-1, 6-2 against outclassed world number 34 Jiri Lehecka. "I think in early stages of Grand Slams it's good that you don't spend so much time, if you have the chance, on court," said the top-seed Italian. "I don't think there's much I could improve." Three-time Grand Slam winner Sinner next meets Russia's Andrey Rublev, who advanced after France's Arthur Fils withdrew injured on Friday. Sinner has been finding his feet since his comeback from a three-month doping ban, reaching the Italian Open final where he lost to reigning Roland Garros champion Carlos Alcaraz. And the 23-year-old has not dropped a set in Paris -- extending his winning streak at Grand Slam events to 17 matches after titles at the 2024 US Open and Australian Open this January. British fifth seed Jack Draper proved too strong for Brazilian teenage sensation Joao Fonseca, winning 6-2, 6-4, 6-2 to progress through to the fourth round, where he will meet Kazakh Alexander Bublik. Keys 'digs deep' German third seed Zverev, who lost last year's final to Alcaraz, won 6-2, 7-6 (7/4), 6-1 against Hamburg champion Flavio Cobolli. "It was quite hot today, and I definitely felt it on the court," said Zverev. "But, yeah, happy to get through in three sets and not waste extra energy." In the women's draw, a relieved Keys edged fellow American Sofia Kenin 4-6, 6-3, 7-5. "I'm happy to be still in the tournament," said the 30-year-old seventh seed after she saved three match points when serving at 4-5 in the decider. "I really tried to dig deep." She advanced alongside fellow countrywomen Coco Gauff, Jessica Pegula and Hailey Baptiste. Keys will again face another compatriot in the next round after Baptiste downed Spain's Jessica Bouzas Maneiro 7-6 (7/4), 6-1. Keys and Kenin shared breaks early in the decider, before the reigning Australian Open champion broke the 31st seed at 5-5 and then held serve to see out the match. Former Australian Open champion and Roland Garros runner-up Kenin had led 3-0 in the third set, before the world number eight turned the match round to book her place in the last 16. World number two Gauff booked her ticket to the same stage with a straight-sets win over Czech Marie Bouzkova. The 21-year-old won through 6-1, 7-6 (7/3) against the world number 47 and next plays Ekaterina Alexandrova, the 20th seed, who beat fellow Russian Veronika Kudermetova 6-2, 6-2. Third seed Pegula joined her fellow Americans with a 3-6, 6-4, 6-2 win over Czech Marketa Vondrousova. Pegula, last year's US Open runner-up, next meets the unheralded Lois Boisson, ranked 361 and the last French player competing in Roland Garros. Boisson fought through the pain to see off 138th-ranked compatriot Elsa Jacquemot 6-3, 0-6, 7-5. "Obviously.. going to have some crazy support," said Pegula. "I think it will be fun. It will be cool to be a part of that." Earlier, 18-year-old Andreeva eased into the last 16 with a 6-3, 6-1 win over Kazakh Yulia Putintseva. Sixth seed Andreeva will next play Daria Kasatkina, ranked 17 and now playing for Australia after switching allegiance from her native Russia, who beat Spanish 10th seed Paula Badosa 6-1, 7-5.

Brilliant PSG demolish Inter Milan to win first Champions League title
Achraf Hakimi, playing against his former club, gave PSG an early lead and Doue went from provider to finisher as his deflected shot doubled their advantage in the 20th minute. Doue scored again just after the hour mark, ending any doubt about the outcome before Khvicha Kvaratskhelia ran away to get the fourth and substitute Senny Mayulu made it five. Inter were simply no match for the French club, who recorded the biggest victory by any team in the final in the 70-year history of the European Cup and Champions League. The triumph for the Parisians comes after more than a decade of huge investment from their Qatari owners, and five years after they lost to Bayern Munich in their only previous final appearance. Already French league and cup double winners, they are remarkably just the second ever French winners of European football's biggest prize –- Marseille were the first in 1993, when they beat AC Milan in a final also played in Munich. It is also a second Champions League for PSG coach Luis Enrique, who won with Lionel Messi's Barcelona a decade ago. This youthful PSG side is the best the competition has seen since, one that has been intelligently pieced together over the last two years and fully unleashed this season following the departure of Kylian Mbappe. Indeed the star on the night was teenager Doue, who delivered a masterclass just before he turns 20 on Tuesday. For Inter, there was to be no first Champions League title since 2010 as they failed to add to their three previous triumphs in the competition. Simone Inzaghi's side have now got to the final twice in three seasons and lost both, and this defeat comes a week after they missed out on the Serie A title to Napoli. They end the campaign trophyless, and their ageing side will need to be rebuilt. Doue at the double PSG gave their opponents no chance from the off on a sweaty night at the Allianz Arena, and they were ahead in the 12th minute. It was a glorious goal, Vitinha threading a pass to Doue who squared for Hakimi to finish into an empty net, before refusing to celebrate against his former club. It was also the earliest goal in a Champions League final since 2019, and recent history was already firmly against Inter. The last final in which both teams scored was in 2018, while the last team to concede the first goal but still win were Real Madrid in 2014. But soon Inter were further behind with a goal that came on a counterattack. Willian Pacho prevented Inter from winning a corner, his clearance falling to Kvaratskhelia, who released Ousmane Dembele. His pass found Doue, and the youngster who was preferred in the starting line-up to Bradley Barcola fired past Yann Sommer, via a deflection off Federico Dimarco. Inter only really came close to scoring in the first half when Marcus Thuram headed just wide at a corner, but things got worse after the break. The night for Inzaghi's side was summed up by defender Yann Bisseck, who came on for Benjamin Pavard early in the second half but limped off less than 10 minutes later. Their back line was at sixes and sevens as PSG made it 3-0 on 63 minutes, Dembele's flick releasing Vitinha before the little Portuguese playmaker set up Doue to beat Sommer at his near post. Doue came off shortly after to rapturous applause, but his teammates were far from done. Dembele sent Kvaratskhelia away to to make it 4-0 in the 73rd minute, and the 19-year-old Mayulu then played a one-two with Barcola before lashing in the fifth on 86 minutes. That rounded off an incredible night, with PSG becoming the first team to score five goals in the final since Benfica in 1962.
