Paul Pogba Speaks Out After Suspension: “Where Were They Before?”
In a heartfelt message that resonated deeply with fans across the world, Paul Pogba opened up about the wave of attention he’s received since the expiration of his suspension — and the silence that preceded it.
“Since my suspension expired a few days ago, I had lots of messages from friends and ex-teammates, asking me where I’m gonna play next,” Pogba shared. “These are people who didn’t ask of me since I was banned.”
The message, raw and tinged with emotion, struck a nerve. Pogba, once one of football’s brightest midfield stars, has endured a turbulent period marked by injury setbacks and a doping ban that kept him out of the game for months. During that time, the French international fell from the spotlight — and, it seems, from the minds of many who once stood beside him.
Accompanying his words was a note of spiritual grace:
“May Allah forgive them all.”
It’s a statement not of bitterness, but of reflection. Pogba, a devout Muslim, appears to be seeking peace and forgiveness — not just for others, but for himself as he prepares for the next chapter of his football journey.
As speculation now swirls about where he might play next, this message is a reminder of the often-lonely road fallen athletes walk — and the importance of support, not just in moments of glory, but in times of struggle.
Will Pogba find a new club and rise again? Time will tell. But for now, his words have reminded the world that behind the headlines, there is a human being searching for truth, loyalty, and a fresh start.
