What is Hakimi’s position.. The expected formation of the Champions League final?

has been revealed Spanish “AS” newspaper. About the two lineups expected for my team “Paris Saint-Germain” and “Arsenal”. Ahead of the upcoming Champions League final, it looks like Luis Enrique will go into the match almost at full strength, while Mikel Arteta is still exploring a few key options before settling on his starting line-up.

The final match in Budapest will see both coaches treading carefully as they each look to lead their team to European glory. Enrique now appears confident of the fitness of many of his key players, after it was confirmed that both Nuno Mendes and Achraf Hakimi could feature, while Warren-Zaire Emery will start the match from the bench despite getting plenty of game minutes of late.

According to the Spanish outlet, Luis Enrique will continue to rely on Russian goalkeeper Matvey Safonov, while the defensive line will retain its usual shape with Nuno Mendes and Achraf Hakimi either side, with Marquinhos and Willian Pacho at the heart of the defence.

In midfield, the Spanish coach relies on the trio of Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha and Joao Neves, especially given Ruiz’s standout performances in recent weeks that have made him one of the most prominent elements of the squad at the crucial stage of the season.

As for the front line, it depends Paris Saint Germain A formidable attacking trio that includes Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who is enjoying a fine spell, with Desiree Dowie, who shone in the 2025 final, and Ousmane Dembele, who has recovered from a recent injury and is ready to take on the expected challenge.

Arteta solves some files and postpones others

Arsenal, on the other hand, entered the pre-season finals amid a number of questions over their starting line-up, but Jurien Temper’s recovery increases his chances of starting at right-back, meaning Spanish defender Cristian Mosquera could start the match from the bench.

On the left side of defence, expectations suggest that Ricardo Calafiore will overtake Piero Hincapie in the race for a starting position, while the rest of the back line looks set to be settled with David Raya in goal and the duo of William Saliba and Gabriel Magalis in the heart of defence.

The biggest question marks remain in midfield as Arteta explores bringing in Spaniard Martin Zubimendi alongside Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice, or turning to Eberechi Eze to give the team additional attacking solutions and a greater ability to score.

As for the forward line, the main competition revolves around the spearhead position between Viktor Geikeris and Kai Havertz, with the Swedish forward having the relative advantage from the first minute of the match.

While Bukayo Saka looks secure on the right wing, the battle at left front continues between Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard, indicating the possibility of the Belgian international getting a chance to start.
