PSG is putting the final touches on preparations for tonight's decisive match at the Parc des Princes against Arsenal, with the clear objective of holding on to the result earned at the Emirates Stadium and securing a spot in their second Champions League final. Expectations are sky-high, and there’s a sense of optimism within the squad—especially after the announcement this week that Ousmane Dembélé will indeed be part of the team.

Luis Enrique already confirmed Dembélé’s availability for the Arsenal match

Yesterday morning, Ousmane Dembélé passed his final test after completing a full training session with his teammates without any issues. Dembélé, as a reminder, had to leave the first leg against Arsenal with 20 minutes remaining due to muscle discomfort, which raised alarms in Paris and, understandably, kept him out of the last match against Strasbourg.

At the press conference, anticipation was high to find out whether Ousmane Dembélé was fully fit to play against Arsenal... and Luis Enrique cleared up all doubts. “He has been training with us for two days now. He’ll be available tomorrow.” Achraf Hakimi also shared that he spoke with him during training and confirmed that he’s in great shape for the match.

Dembélé is ready to start

Once Ousmane Dembélé’s presence was confirmed by Luis Enrique at the press conference, all that was left was to wait for the squad list from PSG, which was released earlier this morning. As expected, Ousmane Dembélé was on the list, and Luis Enrique will have his full squad available... including Kang-In Lee.

The remaining question is whether Luis Enrique will choose to start Ousmane Dembélé, who scored the goal that currently puts PSG ahead in the tie. According to L’Équipe, Dembélé told Luis Enrique that he feels ready to start. So, we’ll see if the PSG coach rewards his confidence, or if Bradley Barcola ends up starting the match instead.
