Many football fans believe that the match between Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League this season is the real final of last year's edition, which was not played as expected due to Barcelona's surprising exit against Inter Milan.

Barcelona is preparing for a tough and decisive match against the reigning champion Paris Saint-Germain, in an attempt to prove its worthiness of last season's title and to compensate for the disappointment faced in the knockout stages.

In the context of preparations, Paris Saint-Germain faced a double blow during the international break, with injuries to Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué, casting doubt on their participation against Barcelona.

However, according to the French newspaper "Le Parisien", there is increasing optimism regarding the health condition of Désiré Doué, who is showing significant improvement in his recovery process, which may allow him to return to the pitch earlier than expected.

The young winger may return to participate in the match between Paris Saint-Germain and Auxerre in Ligue 1 on September 27, just before the clash with Barcelona on October 1, and he could potentially start if he proves his full readiness.

However, Doué's participation has not been confirmed yet, and coach Luis Enrique may decide to wait before including him in a physically and mentally demanding match like the one against Barcelona, especially after a period of absence due to surgery.

It is worth mentioning that Doué was a key player in Paris Saint-Germain's UEFA Champions League victory last season and is considered one of the leading candidates for the Kopa Trophy for the best young player in the world.
