PSG Name Strong Squad For Champions League Final Showdown With Arsenal In Budapest

Paris Saint-Germain head coach Luis Enrique has named a powerful squad to face Arsenal in Saturday’s Champions League final in Budapest, with Ousmane Dembélé, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Vitinha all included.

PSG go into the Champions League final clash on the back of a semi-final win over Bayern Munich, while Arsenal booked their place after eliminating Atletico Madrid.

The French champions also hold a recent edge in this fixture, having beaten Arsenal 3-1 on aggregate in last season’s Champions League semi-final.

Dembélé, the 2025 Ballon d’Or winner, leads a squad packed with attacking depth and midfield control as PSG aim to lift the Champions League title for the second successive season.

PSG squad vs Arsenal (Champions League final):

Hakimi, Beraldo, Marquinhos, Zabarnyi, Kvaratskhelia, Fabian Ruiz, Gonçalo Ramos, Dembélé, Doué, Vitinha, Lee Kang-In, Lucas Hernandez, Mayulu, Nuno Mendes, Dro, Barcola, Chevalier, Zaïre-Emery, Safonov, Ndjantou, Mbaye, Pacho, João Neves, Renato Marin.

Meanwhile, former Arsenal midfielder Paul Merson has urged the Gunners to rely on a front line of Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard if they are to trouble PSG in the final.

“I expect Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard to lead the Arsenal attack in this game,” Merson said.

“I like Trossard. He plays in all the big games because he’s such a reliable and good footballer. But I don’t expect Arsenal to open PSG up with this trio. Their real chance is through set-pieces.”
