Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has just announced its squad for the UEFA Champions League final against Arsenal on May 30th. The Parisian club is fielding almost its strongest team, with all its key players ready to take the field.
The return of Ousmane Dembele and Achraf Hakimi has given the French team a huge boost. PSG's biggest worry before the final came from the injury situation of Dembele and Hakimi, both of whom were not in their best physical condition in the final weeks of the season.
Hakimi has been absent since suffering a hamstring injury in the first leg of the semi-final against Bayern Munich on April 28th. Meanwhile, Dembele also had fitness issues in the defeat against Paris FC in the final round of Ligue 1. Before the squad was announced, the availability of both players remained uncertain.

Of the 11 players who started in last season's final, 10 are included in this year's squad. The most notable change is likely to be in the goalkeeper position, with Matvei Safonov predicted to replace Lucas Chevalier in the starting lineup.
One of PSG's hopes for the upcoming match lies in midfield, where Fabian Ruiz is maintaining impressive form. The Spanish midfielder has played outstandingly in the Champions League this season and is expected to bring balance to the midfield, helping the team control the game and build up play effectively in the most important match of the season.
In attack, coach Luis Enrique has all his best players at his disposal. Ousmane Dembele and young talent Desire Doue will bring speed, dribbling ability, and unpredictable plays on both wings.
Meanwhile, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is considered one of PSG's most dangerous attacking players. Kvaratskhelia's ability to make a difference in crucial moments could be key to the team's pursuit of the championship.
