The reference was to the latest Israeli military attack on the besieged Gaza Strip, which caused the death of 47 Palestinians, including 16 children.
It is not the first time Pogba expresses his solidarity with the Palestinian people. In May 2021, he ran around the field waving a Palestinian flag, along with his teammate Amed Diallo, at the end of a Premier League match between Manchester United and Fulham.
Pogba captained France to victory at the 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup and won the 2018 World Cup with France.
