Paul Pogba made his long-awaited return for Monaco, but his comeback ended in disappointment as his team lost 4-1 away to Paris FC.
Paul Pogba returned to action for the first time since December, but his comeback brought no relief as Monaco suffered a 4-1 defeat away to Paris FC.
The midfielder entered in the 69th minute, replacing Thilo Kehrer, with the match already slipping away at 3-1.
Return after setbacks
This appearance marked a key step for Pogba, who has struggled with injuries since joining Monaco after his exit from Juventus.
His return came after a long absence, but the timing coincided with the end of the team’s positive run.
Momentum broken
Monaco had won five consecutive league matches before this defeat, building momentum in the race for Champions League qualification.
The loss leaves them in fifth place, with Lyon and Rennes close behind and ready to capitalize.
Fight for Europe intensifies
The race for the top four in Ligue 1 remains tight, with direct qualification to the Champions League at stake.
At the top, Paris Saint-Germain and Lens continue their battle for the title.
Long road back
Under contract until 2027, Pogba is now focused on regaining rhythm and fitness after a difficult period marked by injuries and suspension.
His return is an important step, but his influence on Monaco’s season will depend on consistency in the weeks ahead.
