Pogba shone in Munich but downplayed his influence in France’s victory over Germany (1-0), Portugal’s opponents in Group F of Euro-2020.
«The team’s performance is what is important to highlight. Without my teammates I wouldn’t have played so well. We all made an effort», validated the United midfielder, dispensing with the label of star of the night.
“We know we need to respect our brand of world champions, never losing humility,” he said, recognizing the importance of a triumphant entry into such a powerful group, with three title contenders: “We all know what this first game means. It sets the pace for the entire competition and it was a very close game, but I think that tonight we gave a show that could make our opponents tremble.”
For his part, Kimmich has already left a warning to Portugal: «France is the big favorite in the competition, but we want to show in the next game that we are among the candidates.»
