"Everyone was killing him in the last few weeks. He's an incredible player, he's different. We have a lot of players of this level, who are very young but with a lot of ambition. I'm very happy for him because he deserved this performance. He was very important."
"It's normal, there is pressure on all the players. We are a very young team. We have a bit more experience, but this year, we have the pressure to win. We like this pressure. We showed that we are capable."
Desire Doue started on the bench after a nine-game goal drought and was brought on early when Ousmane Dembele left injured after 27 minutes. Doue scored 1 minute 59 seconds after coming on, the fastest Champions League goal by a substitute this season, and later sealed a 3-2 win in the 67th minute. His earlier shot was parried into the path of Achraf Hakimi for PSG's equaliser. Folarin Balogun had put Monaco 2-0 ahead and Philipp Kohn saved a Vitinha penalty, while Aleksandr Golovin was later sent off. Luis Enrique praised Doue and emphasised the squad's youth and appetite for pressure.
