Pogba upset for team-mate Buffon
Juventus and France midfielder Paul Pogba has said that it was difficult to watch his club team-mate Gianluigi Buffon cry, after Italy lost to Germany on Saturday night.
Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba has said that he feels bad for his club team-mate Buffon, who was evidently devastated after Italy were knocked out of Euro 2016.
“To see Gigi crying made me feel very bad sat in front of the television.
“He is a great goalkeeper, he gave his best and so did the team. They produced a very good game, but this is football.
“However they have had a fantastic Euros, nobody expected such a great Italian team. I’m not happy with what happened for them. I am truly a player who plays with them so I am proud when they play well,” Pogba claimed.
Despite his team-mate's misfortune, Pogba was clearly delighted that France had got through a potentially tricky tie against Iceland to set up a Euro 2016 semi-final showdown with Germany.
“I am very happy to be in the semi-final, I cannot cry. I am so happy for this.
“A semi-final is a semi-final, Italy and Germany are equally tough. Either way, we want to continue so we want to win and both are great sides,” Pogba told the media.
