Algeria: On Fire with Lille, Nabil Bentaleb Back in the Game for the 2026 World Cup?

Nabil Bentaleb, an Algerian midfielder, shone in Lille's victory against Lens (3-0), continuing his solid performances with a pass accuracy of 92%. His coach, Bruno Génésio, praised his game intelligence and consistency, noting he is one of the best midfielders in Ligue 1.
