  • A delightful photo of the Pogba brothers in their childhood days has surfaced on social media
  • Paul Pogba, who has had more success in football among the trio, is in the middle of his elder brothers in the photo
  • All is not well among the brothers currently, as Paul and Mathias Pogba are embroiled in a extortion and witchcraft controversy

Juventus superstar Paul Pogba is currently at loggerheads with his older brother Mathias, who is on a mission to expose him.

While the controversy surrounding the two brothers makes for great entertainment for the neutrals, it is quite a sad twist in the tale of the Pogba brothers.

This is especially because Mathias and Paul were once very close as siblings, with the former even getting the honour of lifting the World Cup trophy in 2018, which his brother helped the France national team to win.

In the photo, twin brother Florentin and Mathias are standing on either side of Paul with cute matching outfits.

Clearly, at the time, no one knew what the future had in store for any of them.

All about the Pogba brothers

As reported on Sunsport, Mathias Fassou Pogba was born in August 19, 1990 to his mother Yeo in Conakry, Guinea. He was born along with his twin brother Florentin.

Mathias rose through the ranks at Celta with Florentin and was handed his first professional contract at Breton club Quimper in 2009.

As at 2022, he plays for Championnat National 2 team ASM Belfort.

The quieter Pogba, Florentin plays as a defender for Indian Super League club ATK Mohun Bagan.

Mathias accuses Paul of seeking witchdoctor services

As Sports Brief reported, there was a new twist in the Pogba brothers’ saga as Mathias Pogba has dragged former Tottenham Hotspur defender Serge Aurier into the mess.

Mathias claimed in a series of videos that Aurier introduced Pogba to a witchdoctor, who received a bi-monthly sum of €75,000 to €100,000.

He is currently in provisional detention, but this has not stopped him from dishing out a string of accusations against his star brother Paul.
