PSG lineup vs. Inter Milan: Predicted XI for Saturday night's Champions League final in Munich

Enrique to make tough decision between Doue, Barcola: Predicted PSG lineup vs. Inter

Luis Enrique has a fully fit PSG squad available to him ahead of the Champions League final with Inter Milan in Munich on Saturday night.

The Parisians have been relatively fortunate at avoiding injuries to many of their key players, and worries about Ousmane Dembele's fitness passed quickly, after he was only a substitute in the second leg of their semi-final versus Arsenal.

Dembele will start here, more than likely as a drifting false nine, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has also recovered from a minor setback, and should take a starting berth on the left wing.

That could see Desire Doue preferred to Bradley Barcola to complete the front three, given his suitability on the right wing, but that is the only position up for question ahead of the final.

Presnel Kimpembe, who has virtually been banished from the PSG squad this season, is the only member who is currently battling injury, and would not have been involved anyway, so there should be a familiar look to Enrique's XI on Saturday.

The midfield three picks itself, with Joao Neves, Vitinha and Fabian Ruiz frequently receiving rave reviews for their sensational performances throughout the knockout stage, while full-back pairing Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes will have a huge impact at both ends of the pitch.

Despite often coming in for some criticism on some areas of his game, PSG would not be in this final if it were not for goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, who was the penalty-saving hero against Liverpool, and a colossus between the sticks away to Arsenal.

The giant Italian stopper has received as much rest as most of the outfield squad in recent weeks, including last week in the Coupe de France final, when Matvey Safonov started, but there is no doubt about who will begin in goal here.

Should the game show signs of getting away from PSG, they have got strength in depth, especially in attack, where Goncalo Ramos will be available from the bench, and he often delivers when given a chance in the team, as his two starts in May saw him assist their only goal against Strasbourg, before scoring a hat-trick versus Montpellier.

Paris Saint-Germain possible starting lineup: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Neves, Vitinha, Ruiz; Doue, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia
