Fabian Ruiz will start the Champions League final for PSG against Arsenal this Saturday in Budapest at 18 p.m. The Spanish midfielder was preferred to Warren Zaïre-Emery in the Parisian midfield.
The French player, despite being heavily used this season, will therefore start the match on the bench. Luis Enrique has chosen to pair Fabian Ruiz with João Neves and Vitinha in midfield.
Hakimi is back, Dembélé is very much present
Achraf Hakimi, returning from injury, starts at right-back for PSG. He will partner captain Marquinhos, Willian Pacho, and Nuno Mendes in front of Matvei Safonov.
In attack, Ousmane Dembélé starts up front despite spending a few days receiving treatment for a right calf problem. He will be flanked by Désiré Doué on the right and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia on the left.
A team close to the winning eleven last year
Luis Enrique fielded a team very similar to the one that won the Champions League final against Inter Milan in Munich, with a score of 5-0. The only notable change was the presence of Safonov in goal.
The PSG lineup
Safonov – Hakimi, Marquinhos (cap.), Pacho, Nuno Mendes – João Neves, Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz – Désiré Doué, Ousmane Dembélé, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
