"The biggest pain of my life" is the phrase Paul Pogba used to describe the blackmail scandal involving his brother Mathias.
"I tried to hide it. My wife and children didn't know. I had to suppress everything and was consumed by pain. I tried to focus on football but everything was too much to bear. Every two-hour training session couldn't help me avoid reality. After each training session, I tried to stay with my teammates for as long as possible. Gradually, my body and mind were affected. That's why I couldn't return to my peak," the former MU star shared.

Pogba was blackmailed during his final time at MU. |
According to the 2018 World Cup winner, it all started on March 19, 2022, when Paul returned to his hometown in Roissy-en-Brie. After the meal, the 1993-born player was taken by a group of friends to an apartment in Seine-et-Marne. Here, these people said they had protected Pogba for many years and asked the French player to pay 13 million euros.
Before Pogba could understand what was happening, a man with a gun pointed at his head. Before the moment of life and death, Pogba had to give in and agree to pay. However, things did not stop there.
In July 2022, Pogba left MU to join Juventus. However, he was still pressured by strangers right at the training center of the Turin team.
When he learned that his brother Mathias was among those blackmailing him, Paul reported it to the police in July 2022. In August, Mathias continued to shock by posting videos accusing his brother of using witchcraft to influence MU and Kylian Mbappe.
Not long after, Mathias was sentenced to 1 year in prison, while his childhood friends were sentenced to 2 to 8 years in prison.
