Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi has issued a strong warning to Inter captain Lautaro Martínez and the Italian national team following a controversial request for a drug test targeting young PSG star Désiré Doué. The request comes after PSG’s dominant 5-0 win over Inter in the 2025 UEFA Champions League final, in which 19-year-old Doué put in a stunning performance, scoring two goals and earning the Champions League Young Player of the Season award.

The demand for a drug test, reportedly by Martínez and supported by some Italian players, has sparked tension. Al-Khelaïfi labeled the move “disrespectful” and warned of potential consequences, hinting at legal or disciplinary action. “Questioning the integrity of our player is unacceptable,” he said, defending Doué’s remarkable surge. The 19-year-old’s historic three goals in the final attracted global attention, but the demand for a drug test has cast a shadow over his achievement.

Martínez, who admitted PSG’s superiority in the final, now faces scrutiny for his role in the controversy. The Italian Football Federation has yet to comment, but the situation could escalate, potentially affecting Martínez’s reputation and Italy’s standing in UEFA circles. Fans and analysts are divided, with some questioning the timing of the request, while others see it as a desperate response to Inter’s humiliating defeat.

As the fallout continues, all eyes are on UEFA’s response and whether this dispute will affect Martínez’s leadership of the Italian or international preparations for upcoming fixtures. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
