France midfielder, Paul Pogba, has finally reacted to his country’s elimination from Euro 2020.
France were knocked out of the European Championships by Switzerland on Monday night.
Didier Deschamps’s men were defeated 5-4 on penalties after Kylian Mbappe saw his spot-kick saved by goalkeeper Yann Sommer following a 3-3 draw after 120 minutes in Bucharest, Romania.
Reacting, Pogba, who scored a spectacular long-range goal against the Swiss, said in a post via his Instagram account, “Sometimes football can be cruel… cruel and also beautiful. Yesterday, the game brought us sadness but happiness to our opponents.
