Paris, France – Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has delivered a major boost to fans ahead of their crucial UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg against Arsenal. Star forward Ousmane Dembélé has been declared fit and will be available for selection after recovering from a muscle injury.
“He has been training with the squad for two days, so he is available for tomorrow,” Enrique confirmed in a press conference on Tuesday.
Dembélé had sustained the injury during PSG’s 1-0 first-leg victory at the Emirates, where he also scored the winning goal. His return is expected to strengthen PSG’s attack as they prepare for the all-important clash at Parc des Princes.
PSG’s Tactical Shift Paying Off
Under Luis Enrique’s leadership, PSG has transitioned from relying solely on individual brilliance to building a more tactically disciplined and cohesive team. Their organized pressing and defensive shape were key in stifling Arsenal’s attack in the first leg.
Defender Achraf Hakimi also spoke ahead of the match:
“The key is to show our personality with and without the ball and press high. Arsenal will need to feel that the Parc des Princes is our home.”
What’s at Stake?
The winner of this semi-final will advance to the Champions League final in Munich on May 31, where they’ll face either Inter Milan or Barcelona. For PSG, this is a golden opportunity to reach their second-ever UCL final and possibly lift the prestigious trophy.
Final Thoughts
With Ousmane Dembélé back in the squad and the home crowd behind them, PSG fans have every reason to be hopeful. The stage is set for a dramatic night in Paris.
