Paul Pogba has opened up about the emotional toll of his recent suspension, revealing how the ban changed his life in unexpected ways. The French footballer, once a fixture at high-profile events like fashion weeks, shared how he was suddenly shunned by the same circles that once embraced him.

“We are all human, we all have feelings. When that ban happened, I truly realized what life is,” Pogba admitted. “Paul Pogba – the famous guy – is no more. People were avoiding me. I used to get invited to fashion weeks and events like that. Now they were like: ‘we can’t use Pogba.’ Even my friends weren’t calling like they used to.”

His words offer a rare glimpse into the personal struggles of athletes, highlighting how fame can quickly fade when controversy strikes.
