By bagging this award, which has been given to the best European player under the age of 21 in each year since 2003, Doué earns yet another honour for his exceptional 2024–2025 campaign with Les Rouge et Bleu, as well as succeeding 2024 winner Lamine Yamal and becoming the fourth French player to take home the gong.
In the other results announced by Tuttosport, Paris Saint-Germain's president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, was named as the year's Best President while the capital club's football advisor, Luís Campos, earned the title of 2025's Best Football Executive.
