‘Omg Paul Pogba’- Super Eagles midfielder impressed with the French star’s display against Switzerland

The Man Utd star yet again delivered a brilliant performance in the Euro 2020, and that has earned him more praises from a Nigerian international

Super Eagles star Joe Aribo is officially a Paul Pogba fan after the Rangers midfielder praised the World Cup winner’s performance in France’s thrilling Euro 2020 round of 16 match against Switzerland.

Aribo had praised Pogba’s performance against Portugal, and it continued on Tuesday night. Although the World Cup winners and favourites lost on a dramatic day in football, Pogba was impressive in the middle of the park.

The 28-year-old scored a brilliant curler from outside the box to put France 3-1 up. Pogba also created four big chances in the match and had a pass 92% pass accuracy.

It was indeed one of Pogba’s best displays, and it left Aribo impressed. The former Charlton midfielder took to his Twitter account to express his love for the Man Utd star.

Aribo said: Omg Paul Pogba😮 My Centre Mid, on his Twitter page.

However, Pogba will not be able to dazzle Aribo further in the tournament after France lost on penalties following a 3-3 draw after 120 minutes.
