A questão sobre quantas partidas Pogba disputou pelo Mônaco na temporada 2025-26 é relevante. Alcançar tal meta sempre se mostraria desafiador para o campeão mundial de 2018, dada a duração de sua ausência dos campos devido à suspensão por doping. Embora a penalidade tenha sido diminuída de quatro anos para dezoito meses, o talentoso francês permaneceu afastado dos gramados por um período maior do que o desejado. O Mônaco, então, proporcionou ao enigmático meio-campista uma oportunidade de retorno ao alto nível, com uma estreia na Ligue 1 para um jogador que nasceu e cresceu nas proximidades de Paris. Grandes expectativas foram depositadas nele no Stade Louis II. No entanto, essas expectativas se desfizeram ao longo da temporada 2025-26, resultando em somente seis jogos e nenhum tento. Riise, que atuou por três anos no Mônaco antes de ir para o Liverpool, tinha a esperança de presenciar o renascimento de um “jogador incrível” na Riviera Francesa.

The article discusses Pogba’s decline and struggles, not his death.
Here’s a summary of what the former Monaco player, John Arne Riise, actually said about Paul Pogba:
Former Monaco player John Arne Riise, in an exclusive interview with GOAL (courtesy of Betinia), expressed sadness and concern over the career trajectory of World Cup winner Paul Pogba.
Riise noted that Pogba, who he remembers as an “incredible player” who “played with joy” and “smiled” at his peak, now seems like “only a shadow of what he once was.” When asked if Pogba is in decline at the highest level, Riise agreed, lamenting “the way things have happened in recent years.”
He attributed Pogba’s struggles to a combination of factors, including “injuries, some other things,” and the natural impact of “age.” Riise also suggested that “some decisions” made by Pogba might not have been the best for him.
Riise had hoped Pogba would “recover a bit at Monaco” and return to form, but acknowledged that “it didn’t work out for him.” He expressed uncertainty about whether Pogba will “finish the season at Monaco” or play “more than one season,” wishing him a “great summer” and “pre-season” to potentially turn things around, as current videos suggest he “doesn’t seem” like his former self. Aqui está a tradução:
“as sharp and in form as he should be. I hope he can prove me wrong, regain full fitness, and really excel starting next season.”
