“He gave me a bite, I believe, but we have known each other for a long time. For me it is something closed, it was a nice match where the fans also had fun, I do not want Rudiger to be punished for such an action. At the end of the match, we hugged “, said Pogba regarding this episode that made quite a fuss.
