Club career
[edit]Paradou AC
[edit]Born in Constantine, Bensebaïni began his career at Paradou AC, joining the youth team in 2008 and making his senior debut in 2013.[3] In the summer of 2013, Bensebaïni went on trial with Porto and was later handed a two-week trial by English Premier League side Arsenal, during which he played in two friendlies with the under-21 team against Luton Town and Colchester.[4]
In June 2014, Bensebaïni was loaned out by Paradou for one season to Belgian Pro League club Lierse.[5] He made his full debut on 3 August in a league match against Club Brugge, coming on as a 94th-minute substitute for Wanderson.[6] Bensebaïni made 23 league appearances during the course of the season, scoring 1 goal, but could not help Lierse avoid relegation.
In June 2015, Bensebaïni was loaned out again by Paradou, this time to French club Montpellier for the 2015–16 Ligue 1 season.[7]
Rennes

He made his debut for the team in the Bundesliga as a starter during a win against 1. FC Köln.[10] On 10 November, he scored his first goal with his new club against Werder Bremen. In the same game, however, he was sent off.[11] On 7 December 2019, he scored a brace in a 2–1 win against defending Bundesliga champions Bayern München.[12]
In April 2023, Gladbach's sporting director Roland Virkus confirmed that Bensebaïni would depart the club at the end of the 2022–23 campaign, having chosen not to renew his contract.[13][14]
Borussia Dortmund
[edit]On 5 June 2023, Bensebaïni signed a four-year contract to join Borussia Dortmund on a free transfer.[15] On 12 August 2023, he made his official debut for the club in a 6–1 away win against Schott Mainz in the DFB Pokal.[16]
International career
[edit]On 19 July 2015, Bensebaïni made his debut for Algeria national under-23 football team in a 2015 Africa U-23 Cup of Nations qualifying match against Sierra Leone.
In November 2015, Bensebaïni was called up to the Algeria national team for the first time for a pair of 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Tanzania.[17]
In December 2023, he was named in Algeria's squad for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.[18]
