Julian Draxler Says PSG Are 'Very Happy' Paul Pogba Is Suspended for UCL 2nd Leg

Paris Saint-Germain star Julian Draxler has said he and his team-mates are "very happy" that Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba will be suspended for the second leg of their UEFA Champions League showdown.

PSG won the first leg of the last-16 tie 2-0 at Old Trafford, with second-half goals from Presnel Kimpembe and Kylian Mbappe enough to put the Ligue 1 outfit in a strong position before the return fixture in Paris.

To make matters even tougher for United, they will be without Pogba for that match after he was given a red card late on following a rash tackle on Dani Alves.
