Two young players with a full trophy shelf
By the FootballDream editorial team. Facts checked against official records on . How we verify stats
Doué is 21, Yamal is 19, and neither has a quiet shelf. Both were already winning things before most players their age had a first-team shirt.
Doué's case is the club record. He joined PSG in 2024 from Rennes, won a continental treble in his first season including the club's first Champions League, and did it again the following year. He was the Champions League Young Player of the Season, picked up the Golden Boy, and was Ligue 1 Young Player of the Year twice.
Yamal's case is the individual ceiling. He was the youngest ever Ballon d'Or nominee at 17 the runner-up at 18 and third in 2026, has three Kopa Trophies, scored at Euro 2024 as the youngest scorer in the tournament's history, and won the 2026 World Cup on his debut tournament. He was La Liga Player of the Season in 2025–26.
They play different games. Doué moves between attacking midfield and the wing and does his damage in a team with the ball. Yamal is a right winger who is the team's plan.
