Dembélé Leads PSG's Doha Charge as 22-Man Squad Named for Flamengo Final
Dembélé returns as PSG head to Doha for Flamengo final.

Ahead of the Final

Ousmane Dembélé returns as Paris Saint‑Germain prepare to face Flamengo in the Intercontinental Cup final in Doha. Paris travel with a 22-man squad, with the French winger back after illness and Moroccan international Hakimi sidelined through injury. The final will take place on Wednesday in the Qatari capital, where PSG arrive as European champions and Flamengo come through their own knock‑out route to reach the showpiece.

Squad Notes

PSG's 22-man squad spans goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders and attackers, aiming for balance to counter Flamengo's threat. The lineup emphasizes depth and international experience as PSG chase another continental and world trophy.

With Dembélé back in action, PSG add punch up front, while Hakimi's absence is a blow at the back and in creativity. The squad travels with a blend of seasoned internationals and young prospects as they prepare for a high‑stakes game in Doha.

Goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders and forwards are listed across the 22-man group, underscoring a conventional approach to squad selection ahead of the final.

Punchline 1: PSG's plan is simple: aim for the net and let the crowd applaud precision—it's not every day you get a cameo from Doha's coffee.

Punchline 2: Flamengo's defense might need a map; with PSG's setup, even a sniper would struggle to find a clean shot at the goal.
