Scoring from the penalty spot for Borussia Dortmund against Juventus in a spectacular 4-4 draw, Ramy Bensebaïni kicked off his UEFA Champions League campaign in style.

The Algerian defender, however, endured a frustrating end to the match as his team conceded twice in stoppage time, letting a well-deserved victory slip away.

Adem Zorgane, meanwhile, made his European debut with Union Saint-Gilloise, helping the Belgian side secure an impressive 3-1 away win over PSV Eindhoven. A third Algerian, Amine Gouiri, was also in action on Tuesday night. Coming off the bench, he couldn't prevent Olympique de Marseille from falling 2-1 to Real Madrid.

While Farès Chaïbi and Ibrahim Maza are set to feature with their German clubs, Rayan Aït-Nouri, currently injured, will have to wait a bit longer before making his European debut in Manchester City colors.

Here are the six Algerians competing in the 2025-2026 Champions League:

• Ramy Bensebaïni (Borussia Dortmund)

• Adem Zorgane (Union Saint-Gilloise)

• Amine Gouiri (Olympique de Marseille)

• Farès Chaïbi (Eintracht Frankfurt)

• Ibrahim Maza (Bayer Leverkusen)

• Rayan Aït-Nouri (Manchester City)
