star, Lionel Messi after France dumped Argentina out of the 2018 World
Cup in Russia.
After scrapping through into the round of 16, the La Albiceleste
eventually bowed out after narrowly losing 4-3 to the Les Bleus in
Saturday's thriller.
Goals from Angel Di Maria, Gabriel Marcado and Sergio Aguero were not
enough as Kylian Mbappe' s brace and goals from Benjamin Pavard and
Antoine Griezmann secured France their first ever World Cup win
against Argentina in three meetings
Pogba, however, was quick to console Messi after the game.
The former Juventus playmaker approached the 31-year-old and wrapped
his arms around the Barca number 10, who seemed to appreciate the
classy gesture.
"When you play against the best footballer of the last ten years, I
watch and learn from him," Pogba said at a post-match press
conference.
"Messi makes me love football. He will always be my idol."
Pogba will hope to lead France to victory against Uruguay in the
quarter-final this weekend.
