Lille v PSG: Full lineups confirmed as Ferran Torres starts in Ligue 1 2026-27 match

Lille and Paris Saint-Germain announced their starting lineups for their Ligue 1 2026-27 meeting in Lille on 2026-08-28, with Ferran Torres included in PSG’s XI and Benjamin André named among Lille’s starters.

Lille entered the game having won their opening fixture last weekend, one of five clubs in the French top flight to do so, a positive start to Davide Ancelotti’s tenure. The hosts aimed for a fifth consecutive victory in their Ligue 1 home opener, but faced notable absences: forward Hamza Igamane is sidelined for an extended period following a severe cruciate ligament tear and defender Tanguy Nianzou remained unavailable. PSG endured a poor start but managed to salvage a point in their opening match under Luis Enrique. The Paris side had scored only once in first halves so far this season, their defence had appeared fragile, and Enrique would have to address those issues ahead of this fixture.

Lille’s confirmed XI included Benjamin André, who returned wearing the captain’s armband, followed by the starting lineup listed as: Starting XI: Ozer (GK), Santos, Ngoy, Perraud, Andre, Bentaleb, Mbappe, Haraldsson, Correira, Giroud. The hosts’ substitutes were named as: Bench: Bodart (GK), Verdonk, Cossier, Mukau, Bakwa, Onal, Sahraoui, Perrin, Diaoune.

PSG named Ferran Torres in their starting side and confirmed the following selection: Starting XI: Safonov (GK), Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Beraldo, Zire-Emery, Vitinha, Ruiz, Doue, Torres, Akliouche. Their bench was listed as: Bench: Chevalier (GK), Longoni, Zabarnyi, Digne, Lucas, Mayulu, Fernandez, Godts, Kvaratskhelia.

With three goals or more recorded in six of their recent meetings, Les Parisiens had the opportunity to extend their competitive undefeated streak over Lille to 11 games. The report also noted the two sides’ league positions with the concise lines: "They are fourth in the table." and "They are sixth in the table."
