As is customary after each round of league matches, L’Équipe has published its Team of the Week for Matchday 26 of the 2025-2026 Ligue 1 season, which took place this past weekend. Paris Saint-Germain and Nantes are not included, as Nantes’ match at the Parc des Princes was postponed to allow PSG to best prepare for their Champions League Round of 16 second leg against Chelsea this Tuesday.

Lorient features prominently, as expected, with a surprise home victory against Lens after a hard-fought match. Lille also makes the cut, securing one of the weekend’s biggest results by ending Rennes’ four-game winning streak. It’s worth noting that both Lille and Lorient were outplayed but still managed to secure the win. This underscores the importance of efficiency in football, but also the importance of results in judgment.
