It’s not about how many times you fall, but how many times you get back up. Paul Pogba fell — and hard — but now, he’s back on his feet. That’s been clear for a while, but now it’s official: the former World Cup winner with France is the newest player for AS Monaco. After a two-year absence from football, he has signed a two-year deal with the Principality club. We’ll be seeing him again in the Champions League — and, for the first time ever, playing senior club football in his homeland.🥹 pic.twitter.com/TxC84ZsOTN— AS Monaco 🇲🇨 (@AS_Monaco) June 28, 2025 The key moments of his career are well known. As a star of Manchester United and Juventus, Pogba was considered one of the best midfielders in the world. He earned 91 caps for the French national team and was one of the key figures in their 2018 World Cup triumph in Russia. However, a doping scandal cost him a two-year ban from football. Without that ban, Monaco likely wouldn’t have had a shot at signing him — and, to be honest, very few players could join a top-tier club in one of Europe’s big five leagues after such a long break, unless their name is Paul Pogba.Revival of Paul: Pogba on the verge of joining Ligue 1 giantsIt looks like a win-win situation — both sides potentially stand to benefit. Pogba is still far from being considered a veteran (he’s 32 years old), he’s been training hard during his absence, and he’s highly motivated. In the video Monaco used to announce him as a new signing, he said he feels “reborn.” Well then — let’s see what he can do in red and white.FIFA CLUB WORLD CUP 20251/8 finalsSaturdayPalmeiras – Botafogo 0-0 1-0 AET/Paulinho 10/23.00: (3.40) Benfica (3.40) Chelsea (2.15)Sunday19.00: (1.22) PSG (7.00) Inter Miami (11.0)23.00: (5.30) Flamengo (3.60) Bayern (1.70)Monday19.00: (1.80) Inter (3.50) Fluminense (4.70)Tuesday04.00: (1.35) Manchester City (5.00) Al-Hilal (9.00)22.00: (1.67) Real Madrid (3.70) Juventus (5.50)Wednesday04.00: (1.80) Dortmund (3.60) Monterrey (4.60)***odds are subject to change***
