On the eve of the Champions League final, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has confirmed its starting lineup against Arsenal. Notably, Moroccan right-back Achraf Hakimi will return to the pitch from the beginning of the match, a significant development for the French club.
Coach Luis Enrique expressed relief and excitement over Hakimi’s inclusion, which many had doubted would be possible until the last moment. The player had sustained a serious injury during the semi-final against Bayern Munich, a match that ended with a thrilling 5-4 scoreline in favor of PSG.
Following his injury, Hakimi was sidelined for over a month and participated in a rigorous rehabilitation program with the club’s top physiotherapists. His recovery in time for the final marks a triumphant return for the talented full-back.
The full Parisian starting XI has been announced, adding to the anticipation for the highly contested match. In related news, renowned rapper Drake has placed a $1,000,000 bet on Arsenal to win the final.
