A truly magnificent scene.

The magnificent scene you see before you is the most beautiful moment in football this year!

In the 85th minute of the Rennes vs. Monaco match in Ligue 1, the maestro Paul Pogba made his return to football after a full 811 days of absence!

The scene was truly legendary.

As soon as Pogba stepped onto the pitch, he was rocked by the applause.

Even the Rennes fans, Pogba’s rivals, stood up and gave him an incredible welcome!

I want you to imagine that two years ago, Pogba went to a doctor in America who gave him a performance-enhancing drug, resulting in an 18-month suspension.

He later appeared in an interview and said that all his friends and acquaintances abandoned him and no one even checked on him because he was no longer a celebrity to them.

Can you imagine his feelings at that time?

The beautiful thing is that Pogba today, after the end of the match, prostrated himself and thanked God for this precious moment, and said that God is generous because, thanks to Him, he maintained the hope of a comeback.

A truly magnificent scene in every sense of the word.

For me, Pogba will always be one of the best and most complete midfielders.

He’s a blend of pure talent, a natural footballing ability, and a unique personality—a clear combination of natural talent, academic foundation, and a character that shines through in every touch.

Unfortunately, life didn’t stand still for him.

He spent a long time at home, away from his game and the things he loves.

Many people disappeared from his life; his close friends left him when everything was taken away from him.

But despite all this, he never gave up.

He came back, and those few minutes he played after 811 days of absence were incredibly emotional.

The first thing he did was prostrate himself in gratitude to God for his return. It was a magnificent scene, and the opposing fans at Rennes’ stadium applauded him in appreciation and respect.

For me, Pogba will always be one of the players closest to my heart, and undoubtedly one of the strongest and most complete midfielders to have ever graced the pitch.

His presence, completeness, and impact are hard to replicate.
