Paul Pogba took a few minutes to show everyone what Juventus lacked this season
Paul Pogba proved he hasn't lost his cool after making his long-awaited second Juventus debut in a 4-2 win over Turin.
The 29-year-old French midfielder returned to Turin last summer after his contract with Manchester United expired at the end of last season.
However, Pogba picked up a long-term knee injury he picked up in pre-season with Juventus and even missed France's 2022 World Cup campaign in Qatar.
The former Man United star's future at the Old Lady has become uncertain after he was left out of more than half of Juventus' Serie A appearances this season.
Pogba, who underwent successful injury surgery, came on from the bench in the 69th minute and replaced Enzo Barrenechea in Tuesday's Juventus clash. The images that quickly went viral on social media of the 2018 World Cup winner demanded his influence and presence in the Juventus midfield.
A pressured Pogba controlled the ball superbly with his chest and easily pushed the ball forward with his head to help launch Juventus' counter-attack.
Fans believe the Juventus conductor midfielder is finally back to leave a lasting mark on the Old Lady, with one supporter hoping he's "back to his old 2015 form".
"Pogback with a beautiful Pogtouch," one Twitter user wrote.
"It would be lucky if he returns to the same level from 2015," one fan said.
Another person posted:
“Damn, he always makes it look easy. What a ballet dancer.
While the fourth added:
"This guy is easily one of the most talented footballers I've ever seen, too bad he's prone to injuries."
And one fan posted:
"I've missed [Paul Pogba] so much. I'm glad he's back on his feet. Hopefully he'll have a great rest of the season.
