Paul Pogba was instrumental for Juventus on Thursday as they salvaged a draw against Sevilla in the Europa League semi-final.
The Frenchman's career had been in limbo, after he spent a large chunk of the season on the sidelines with a stubborn knee injury.
But for the first time in months since making his return to Juventus, Pogba showed why he is considered a world-class midfielder, with a 20-minute cameo against Sevilla.
He came on in the 70th minute with his side trailing the Europa League specialists, and it is safe to say Sevilla felt his impact.
