Paul Pogba played his first match in over two years, stepping onto the field in the Rennes vs Monaco clash. The last time the Frenchman appeared in an official game was back in September 2023, when his Juventus side faced Empoli. Now, after a 811-day hiatus, the midfielder once again savored the atmosphere of top-level football.
Details: After the match against Rennes, Paul Pogba delivered an emotional account of his return to football. According to him, these years have been a real ordeal.
"Football isn't over for me. We worked, we waited for this moment for more than two years... Despite everything that happened, all the stories outside football. I suffered a lot and waited for this moment. There are times when the devil tries to convince you that it's all over. But there is God. I believe in myself and in my ability," the Frenchman declared.
Pogba emphasized that he does not feel guilty about the events that kept him off the pitch:
"I did nothing wrong, it's not my fault. I've always kept hope alive."
In this match, Pogba was given ten minutes on the field. During that time, his team managed to pull one goal back, but Monaco still fell 1-4.
Reminder: Monaco have joined the race for Chelsea defender Axel Disasi.
