Although Pogba didn\u2019t score or register an assist during France\u2019s two matches at the tournament, his importance was there for all to see, constantly making himself free in the middle of the pitch, looking to be the driving force behind France\u2019s attacks.<\/p>\n

Recall that France defeated Spain 2-1 at San Siro to win the UEFA Nations League.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has grown in importance compared to his beginnings,\u201d Deschamps told Eurosport.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is an expressive leader who sits between the generations. He has this collective reflection.\u201d<\/p>\n
