Discover the probable team compositions of PSG and Arsenal, who face each other this Saturday in the Champions League final.

Winner of the first Champions League in its history last season, Paris Saint-Germain is aiming to make it two this Saturday (6 p.m.) in Budapest. Opposed to Arsenal, the Parisians can count on a full squad for this final.

Luis Enrique recorded the return from injury of Ousmane Dembélé and Achraf Hakimi. According to Canal+, the two men should be established. For its part, Le Parisien believes that it is not excluded to see Warren Zaire-Emery starting on the right side, as he faced in the semi-final return against Bayern Munich.

Warren Zaire-Emery could also start in midfield, alongside Vitinha and Joao Neves. But Fabian Ruiz seems to have a small head start on the young Frenchman. Finally, it is Désiré Doué who should start on the right side of the attack, thus pushing Bradley Barcola to the bench.

Arteta also has a choice

For the rest, it’s classic, with Safonov in goal, Nuno Mendes on the left of the defense and a Marquinhos-Pacho hinge. In front, Kvaratskhelia will accompany DembĂ©lĂ© and DouĂ©.

On the Gunners side, there are two uncertainties: Eze and Odegaard would be in balance, while a doubt remains concerning the number 9 position between Havertz and Gyökeres. In the middle, Mikel Arteta should prefer Lewis-Skelly to Zubimendi.

The probable composition of PSG: Safonov – Hakimi (or Zaire-Emery), Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes – Vitinha, Ruiz (or Zaire-Emery), Neves – Doué, Dembélé, Kvaratskhelia.

Arsenal’s probable line-up: Raya – Mosquera, Gabriel, Saliba, Calafiori – Rice, Lewis-Skelly, Eze (or Odegaard) – Saka, Havertz (or Gyökeres), Trossard.
