- Luis Enrique rotated heavily in a 3–2 win over Metz before departure and cautioned that the year‑end travel load could tax his squad.
- Ousmane Dembélé is included after a recent virus but is short of peak condition, Désiré Doué is easing back from a thigh injury, Achraf Hakimi is out with an ankle sprain, and Marquinhos is not fully fit.
- Goalkeeper Matvey Safonov has started three straight matches, while Lucas Chevalier returned to the bench after an ankle injury as the staff weighs the choice for the final.
- PSG enter as favorites on the strength of consistent season metrics (72.46% points across 23 games) after sweeping four major trophies earlier in 2025.
