Champions League final in Budapest sees Arsenal coach Arteta confident while PSG's Hakimi doubts linger

Paris Saint‑Germain and Arsenal will meet in the Champions League final in Budapest. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said he has visualised lifting the trophy and urged his players to be confident ahead of the match.

PSG face a setback as right‑back Achraf Hakimi, sidelined with a thigh injury suffered in the semi‑final first leg, remains doubtful for the game. Coach Luis Enrique must decide whether to risk Hakimi or replace him, with young Warren Zaïre‑Emery mentioned as a possible option. Ousmane Dembélé is also absent, though his condition is less concerning. The status of PSG’s right flank will be a key factor for both sides.

Both clubs are preparing intensively, with the injury news adding uncertainty for the French side and Arsenal eyeing any weakness to exploit.
