Star Power Returns to the Pitch

The air in Budapest is thick with anticipation, but in the training grounds of Paris Saint-Germain, the mood has shifted from anxiety to electric confidence. Just four days before the decisive Champions League final against Arsenal, two of the French giants' most vital weapons have returned to full action. Ousmane Dembele and Achraf Hakimi completed full training sessions with the squad, sending a clear message to the English challengers: the Parisian attack and defense are ready to unleash their full fury.

Dembele's Ankle and Hakimi's Hamstring

Dembele, the recipient of last year's prestigious Golden Ball award, had left the Parisian faithful worried after injuring his right ankle in the final Ligue 1 match against city rivals Paris FC. Despite the scare, French media outlets had long suggested his participation was never truly in doubt. Seeing him sprint and twist alongside his teammates confirms that the creative spark needed to dismantle any defense is back in full force.

Similarly, the situation with Moroccan ace Hakimi looked precarious. The 27-year-old right-back suffered a thigh muscle injury during the semi-final thriller against Bayern Munich. Until Tuesday, his availability was a major question mark hanging over the team. However, his normal, full-intensity training session has lifted a weight off the shoulders of PSG supporters. With the final scheduled for Saturday at 18:00 at the Puskas Arena, both players are now poised to help their club defend their title against the London side.
