Achraf Hakimi Shapes PSG's Final Push Before Arsenal in Budapest
achraf hakimi is in the frame as PSG head into tomorrow’s Champions League final against Arsenal in Budapest, and Ousmane Dembélé has made the target plain: another title. He said the squad wants to keep winning after last year’s triumph and believes PSG can handle the pressure at the Puskás Aréna.
Dembélé spoke before the match and stressed that Arsenal are “a very good team,” pointing to their Premier League title and their run to the top of the Champions League league phase. He added that PSG won the first Champions League title last year and that the club’s young, ambitious group wants more trophies.
Puskás Aréna Final
The final is set for tomorrow at 18h in the Puskás Aréna in Budapest. Dembélé said he used 10-15 days to prepare properly for the game and added that he feels at 100%, a useful sign for PSG before one of the biggest nights in the club’s season.
That preparation sits against a crowded backdrop. He said the season has been very difficult for PSG players because they did not have vacations, but he credited Luis Enrique and his staff with managing the group well enough to reach the final. Dembélé also called Luis Enrique one of the best coaches he has had in his career.
Dembélé and PSG Ambition
Dembélé, who arrived at PSG three years ago, said his role has grown since joining the club. He said he still has hunger for victory and wants trophies with the team, the staff and the full squad, adding that individual awards come after the club’s success.
He also pointed to the players around him, saying he has “players who are incredible with me,” which makes his job easier. PSG supporters are expected to follow the final closely, and Dembélé said the team wants to give them the happiness they have been waiting for since last year’s Champions League title.
The immediate task is simple: beat Arsenal and turn last season’s European crown into a repeat. Dembélé framed that as the club’s focus, saying PSG know the opponent is strong and intend to give everything for a trophy he described as very important for the team.
