MUNICH: France midfielder Paul Pogba earned the Star of the Match award for his display in the world champions' 1-0 win over Germany in their Euro 2020 Group F opener on Tuesday but knows how lucky he is to play alongside N'Golo Kante.
But it was Chelsea's Kante, who at the age of 30 appears to be elevating his games to new levels, who knitted it together. Pogba's Manchester United career has spluttered at times, yet when playing for France, Kante's influence rubs off on him to such an extent that he looks like a world-beater. "We know we need to live up to our tag as world champions and come out on to the pitch with humility," Pogba said.
Those looking for weaknesses were left disappointed as France's unbeaten run in competitive matches reached 17.
