For the Champions League meeting with Barcelona on 20 October 2026, Paris Saint-Germain’s official line-up placed Ferran Torres and Mika Godts among the substitutes. Senny Mayulu was listed with them, while Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho and Lucas Hernandez started in defence. Vitinha, João Neves and Fabian Ruiz made up the midfield.
Godts had already logged competitive minutes: Ligue 1 reported that he played 177 minutes across six league matches and 26 minutes in the Champions League at the time of its coverage. His place in the Barcelona matchday group followed that first-team involvement. Luis Enrique has rotated PSG’s squad, sharing playing time across domestic and European competition.
Nuno Mendes missed the Barcelona match after suffering a left-thigh injury that was expected to keep him out for several weeks. Senny Mayulu, by contrast, appeared in PSG’s official squad listing and was named among the substitutes. Reports have put Torres’s transfer fee at about €48.5 million, or roughly €50 million, and said his contract runs to 2031; the reported fee for Godts’s move from Ajax was €45 million.
Squad announcements and player rotations draw particular attention at the start of the season, when new signings and transfer-market activity can reshape team strategies. Barcola and Mbaye have both been linked to potential moves abroad, leaving open the possibility of further negotiations or tactical considerations. Broadcast arrangements for high-profile sporting events also drew attention recently, when Canal Sur Televisión prepared to air a special bullfight from La Malagueta for its 150th anniversary, as detailed in this report on a major Andalusian event.
Torres and Godts’s inclusion confirms their availability to Enrique, while Godts’s league and European minutes show he had already begun adapting to PSG’s demands. The Barcelona line-up offers a snapshot of the club’s selection choices across competitions, with established starters and new arrivals competing for places in a rotating squad.
