Vladimir Stognienko: PSG Rightly Earned Their Place in the Champions League Final

The commentator for Okko, **Vladimir Stognienko**, shared his thoughts following the second leg of the Champions League semi-final between Paris Saint-Germain and London’s Arsenal. The match took place on May 7 and ended with a 2-1 victory for the Parisians.

«Over the past few years, Paris Saint-Germain has undergone significant transformation — they are undoubtedly a more tactically disciplined team now. With the confident and experienced Luis Enrique at the helm, their coordination and exceptionally strong roster are evident. PSG boasts some of the top full-backs in Europe (Hakimi is simply phenomenal), a hardworking midfield, a talented attacking line, and a reliable goalkeeper. In fact, upon closer examination, it seems the team has no weaknesses at all. Therefore, their presence in the final is entirely justified — Paris showed no inferiority to Liverpool and appeared more poised than Arsenal.

Interestingly, their opponent in the final will be a team that also claims its wings are among the strongest on the continent. Dumfries and Dimarco will go head-to-head against Mendes and Hakimi — it’s bound to be something special,» Stognienko remarked in an interview with a correspondent from «Championship.»

In the Champions League final, PSG will face Italian side Inter on May 31.
