Luis Enrique has revealed his lineup for the Champions League final. Paris Saint-Germain takes the field with few surprises against Arsenal. The super trio of Desiré Doué, Ousmane Dembélé and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia are present.

In peace, PSG was able to concentrate on the final against Arsenal. For Luis Enrique there wasn't much reason to make changes. In goal there is Matvey Safonov, the Russian goalkeeper is supported by Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Willian Pacho and Nuno Mendes in defense.

The midfield is made up of Fabián Ruiz, Vitinha and João Neves. This means Warren Zaïre-Emery will start on the bench. In attack, we find the aforementioned super trio Doué, Dembélé and Kvaratskhelia. Compared to the previous Champions League final, there is only one change: Safonov has taken the place of the departing Gianluigi Donnarumma. It is the first time this season that Luis Enrique has chosen this formation.

PSG lineup: Safonov; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Willian Pacho, Nuno Mendes; João Neves, Vitinha, Fabián Ruiz; Doué, Dembélé, Kvaratskhelia.

Shortly before the match, Luis Enrique spoke to the UEFA media. He stated that PSG is very determined to win. "Yes, it is fundamental. Trying to win the Champions League for the second time in a row is very important. We have already made history as one of the best clubs in the world and in Europe, and this is what we want to achieve again. PSG's future depends on winning and bringing home another major trophy, and that is our objective."
