What happened: Achraf Hakimi is progressing through a managed rehabilitation phase following a right thigh injury sustained in late April. Paris Saint-Germain medical staff and manager Luis Enrique are optimistic the Moroccan international will be fit to start the European showpiece on May 30.

Why it matters: As the defending champions, PSG rely heavily on Hakimi's recovery to counter Arsenal's elite defensive structure in the final. His presence at right-back is critical for both stretching play and neutralizing the threat of Bukayo Saka.

By the numbers: PSG holds a 10-4-2 UCL record this season with a tournament-high 44 goals. Arsenal remains unbeaten at 11-3-0, conceding just 6 goals (0.43/game). PSG are to retain the trophy at Puskás Aréna.

What to watch: Luis Enrique is expected to rest Hakimi for upcoming Ligue 1 matches to ensure maximum fitness. All eyes remain on the May 30 kickoff in Budapest.
