Monaco Suffer Heavy Defeat in Pogba's Return

Monaco suffered a bruising 4-1 defeat at the hands of Paris FC in that match. The 33-year-old was introduced as a 70th-minute substitute with his side already trailing 3-1, and matters were made worse when Luca Koleosho netted a fourth just moments after the Frenchman entered the fray.

• Pogba's first appearance of 2026 came in a 4-1 defeat to Paris FC.
• The Frenchman has endured a nightmare debut season in the Principality.
