Press review: PSG v Arsenal, Hakimi and Dembélé back, Pacho “quiet force” | OneFootball

This Wednesday, May 27, the French press (from a sporting perspective) focused, on the Paris Saint-Germain side, on the Champions League final coming this Saturday against Arsenal at the Puskás Aréna in Budapest (kick-off at 6 p.m., broadcast on M6 and Canal+), with highly anticipated supporters, but also on the returns to training yesterday of Ousmane Dembélé (29-year-old forward) and Achraf Hakimi (27-year-old right-back). There is also the discreet and impressive Willian Pacho (24-year-old defender).

Le Parisien –

L’Equipe –

Parisian supporters are always ready to cheer on the team and make themselves heard throughout the match, and we know they will once again be impressive this Saturday in Budapest for the final. Having those chants, even in difficult moments, is a real extra strength; perhaps that will make the difference against Arsenal. Even though we always hope PSG will not have to suffer, it is also an advantage when it comes to asserting dominance on the pitch.

Of course, the returns of Hakimi and Dembélé are also major assets. Seeing them resume full team training on Tuesday is excellent news. We can therefore hope that they will be fully ready for the final, even if not necessarily to play every minute. There is no doubt about Pacho, who is always very strong in the big occasions. With complete composure, he knows how to impose his defensive aggression and play out from the back under pressure. Calm and understated, he embodies a PSG side that is confident in all circumstances.
