This morning, Friday the 29th of May 2026, PSG have officially confirmed their squad travelling to Hungary for the 2026 UEFA Champions League final
On Saturday evening, at 18:00 CET, PSG will take on Arsenal in their third UEFA Champions League final, and second in the last two seasons.
Luis Enrique's side are the slight favourites, being priced up at 13/10, whilst you can back Arsenal at 9/4. Nevertheless, it will be a very tough game against a defensively formidable opponent.
To beat a team as strong as Arsenal, you're going to want and need to have as many players available for the game as possible. You're going to need your first XI, and a strong bench to follow.
Well, it looks as if PSG have exactly that. Indeed so, as the club have this morning, Friday the 29th of May, officially released the squad list that will be travelling to the Hungarian capital.
The list includes the return of Achraf Hakimi, who has not played since picking up an injury at the end of the semi final first leg at home to Bayern Munich. The list also includes Ousmane Dembele, who picked up an injury in the first half of the final day defeat to neighbours Paris FC.
There is even a place on the list for youngster Quentin Ndjantou, who has not played since the Coupe de France game away to Fontenay since the 20th of December, over five months ago.
So, there really is a clean bill of health for Enrique. Everybody is available. This is the ideal preparation. It was a similar scenario ahead of last year's final. Now, it is highly, highly improbable that score is replicated, or even close, but it definitely gives the team the best possible chance of securing the win.
As previously discussed, there is a "good headache to have" for the boss now, particularly at right-back. Do we see Hakimi come straight back in, even when Zaire-Emery has been so good when covering in that position. Do they both start, with Fabian Ruiz dropping to the bench? That would also be very harsh, considering just how good the Spaniard was in the second leg against Bayern at the Allianz Arena earlier on this month.
Still, it is a great problem to have, and it further shows just how strong the bench will be on Saturday, whichever XI he opts for. This could be very important, particularly if the game goes to extra-time.
Possible XI against Arsenal; Safonov; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Vitinha, Neves, Ruiz; Doue, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia.
