Ousmane Dembele delivers a major boost for PSG by stating he is completely ready to play in the Champions League final versus Arsenal in Budapest on May 30.
Paris Saint-Germain has received a significant boost ahead of the UEFA Champions League final against Arsenal on May 30, as Ousmane Dembele officially confirmed he is fit to play. The French star had previously caused concern among fans after leaving the pitch in the match against Paris FC due to a slight leg discomfort, raising doubts about his availability for the biggest game of the season.
According to French media, Dembele's condition is not as serious as initially feared. The 1997-born striker himself has directly spoken out to reassure PSG fans ahead of the match in Budapest. His comments quickly became a focal point in France, especially as PSG aims for the second Champions League title in the club's history.
“I'm fine, much better than on Sunday,” Dembele shared in an interview with M6. The winger said he only had a minor issue in the calf area and asked to be substituted to avoid any unnecessary risks. This means PSG can feel much more at ease regarding the squad situation ahead of the match against Arsenal.
“I just had a small issue, but the doctor said there's nothing to worry about. My calf was a bit tight and I didn't want to take risks. Yes, I'll be there on the 30th, don't worry.” Dembele's confident statement is seen as a morale booster for PSG fans, especially as he plays an extremely important role in coach Luis Enrique's tactical system this season.
On the journey to the Champions League final, Dembele has been one of PSG's most outstanding players thanks to his speed, ability to create chances, and direct contributions to the attack. The presence of the French international not only helps PSG increase pressure on Arsenal's defense but also opens up more tactical options for Luis Enrique in a match considered historic for the Parisian club.
