Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal have both named their starting lineups for the 2025–26 Champions League final.

Achraf Hakimi and Ousmane Dembélé have been passed fit after battling injury concerns in recent weeks. Both return to Luis Enrique's starting lineup.

Hakimi will line up down the right wing alongside Désiré Doué, while Dembélé leads an attacking line that also features the devastating Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

Vitinha, João Neves and Fabián make up PSG's midfield unit and will seek to control possession against an Arsenal squad that has shown confidence in the build-up to this one.

Arsenal Lineup

The biggest decision from Mikel Arteta comes in attack, where Kai Havertz gets the nod over big-money striker Viktor Gyökeres. Havertz won this trophy with Chelsea five years ago.

Homegrown gem Myles Lewis-Skelly has been handed the biggest start of his career in his natural midfield position. The youngster lines up alongside Declan Rice and club captain Martin Ødegaard.

Noni Madueke has been passed fit after his injury scare on the final day of the season, but he drops to the bench to make space for the returning Bukayo Saka, who starts opposite Leandro Trossard out wide.

Jurriën Timber was fit enough to start after nearly three months out of action with a groin injury, but the Dutchman begins the game on the bench. Ben White's ongoing absence means Cristhain Mosquera continues at right back for Arsenal.

All eyes will be on Mosquera as he prepares for one of the most grueling tasks in the modern game. The dangerous Kvaratskhelia starts in front of flying left back Nuno Mendes, with both players set to fly up and down the wings.
