Inspiring moment Man Utd star Paul Pogba tells mum ‘we will get the cup’ after France’s Euro 2020 win over Germany


PAUL POGBA hopped into the stands to promise his mum France will win Euro 2020 in inspiring footage after they beat Germany 1-0.

The Manchester United midfielder was bare-topped as he greeted his family and gave mum Yeo Moriba his shirt following his man-of-the-match performance.

It was suggested Pogba could have breached Uefa’s strict coronavirus rules by entering the fans’ area at Munich’s Allianz Arena.

But the clip appears to show the bare-topped 28-year-old only with his family.

Jubilant Pogba could be heard saying: “It’s not over. We will get the cup.”

The former Juventus star – along Chelsea’s N’Golo Kante – dominated the clash for the tournament favourites.

And it was Pogba’s sweet pass that teed up Lucas Hernandez for the match-deciding cross on 20 minutes.

Recalled Germany defender Mats Hummel turned the ball into his own net for the only goal.

Pogba, though, was also caught up in one of the most bizarre moments of Euro 20202 so far.

Chelsea centre-back Antonio Rudiger appeared to nibble at Pogba’s back – but the exchange went unpunished by match officials and Uefa.

Pogba said: “It was nothing big. You saw the television pictures and it is all over now, in the past.

“He nibbled a little bit and I felt it so I told the ref but I am not crying for a yellow or a red card.

“Me and Toni have known each other for a long time and I just want to play football.

“He has not received any card and I don’t want him suspended because of that situation. We hugged at the end and it is over.”

Rudiger also explained he and Pogba had spoken after the match and cleared the air.
