Pogba has scored at each of his three major tournament appearances prior to this one, and he almost stretched that to four, only for a combination of Portugal ‘keeper Rui Patricio and the woodwork to deny him what would have been a wonderful winning goal.
After the game, plenty of pundits and fans were rushing to praise the United man…
Alan Shearer, BBC Sport: “What a pass from Pogba. The weight of pass, the run. Everything about it was perfection. [Ruben] Dias is really slow on the turn but that is an excellent finish from Benzema.”
