Arsenal and PSG reveal starting XIs ahead of Champions League final | OneFootball

Arsenal and PSG have named their starting lineups to play in this year’s UEFA Champions League final. 

Jurrien Timber has returned from a two-month injury layoff to take his place on the bench, with Cristhian Mosquera starting at right-back, while Piero Hincapie starts on the left. Ben White misses out through injury.

Mikel Arteta has given Myles Lewis-Skelly the nod in midfield ahead of Martin Zubimendi. The youngster will feature alongside Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard.

Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard are on the wings, either side of Kai Havertz, meaning Viktor Gyokeres will have to make do with a spot on the bench.

PSG manager Luis Enrique, meanwhile, has named the same starting XI that dismantled Inter Milan in last year’s final for the first time ever this season.

Achraf Hakimi was an injury doubt heading into this game, but the Morocco international starts at right-back. The frightening front three of Desire Doue, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Ousmane Dembele all start, with Bradley Barcola held in reserve.

The Champions League final will kick off at 5pm BST at the Puskas Arena in Budapest, Hungary on Saturday.
