Paul Pogba is often accused of only baring his teeth when he plays for his country as opposed to his club.
The Manchester United midfielder's impressive performance as France won their Euro 2020 opener against Germany on Tuesday will have done little to dispel such suggestions.
Pogba played a crucial role in his side's winner with a superb pass that ultimately led to Mats Hummels' own goal. He won tackles, tracked back and showed intelligence and discipline to repel the Germans.
It was a display in which Pogba showed bite - and perhaps was bitten. Literally.
